Immunohistochemical assessment of vimentin expression and Ki-67 proliferation index in conventional urothelial carcinoma: a study of 60 Egyptian patients. (PubMed, Int Urol Nephrol)
In this Egyptian cohort, Ki-67 ≥ 30% was strongly associated with adverse pathological features and independently predicted high-grade disease, supporting its use as a practical ancillary marker and providing regional validation of prior reports. Vimentin was not significantly associated with the studied parameters in this dataset. Future studies should assess alternative cutoffs within the same cohort and validate outcome-linked thresholds in longitudinal datasets.

Saikosaponin D inhibits bladder cancer growth and enhances the synergistic antitumor effect of gemcitabine by targeting PI3K/AKT-mediated ferroptosis. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
SSD inhibits the malignant phenotype of BCa by targeting PI3K/AKT to trigger ferroptosis. Its synergistic effect with GEM from the dual mechanisms of ferroptosis sensitization and epithelial-mesenchymal transition inhibition, providing an innovative combination strategy based on natural product active ingredients to overcome bladder cancer chemoresistance.

TNFRSF17 as a complementary biomarker to PD-L1 for predicting the response to immunotherapy in urothelial bladder cancer. (PubMed, PLoS One)
TNFRSF17 serves as a potential marker to characterize an immune-distinct and prognostically favorable subgroup within CD274High tumors, and to refine stratification for ICB.

PSMD2-Mediated MAPK Signaling Promotes Bladder Cancer Development and Immune Microenvironment Remodeling. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
It promotes malignant development and immune microenvironment remodeling through the MAPK pathway. Pathological analysis can predict PSMD2 expression, offering valuable insights into immunotherapy responses and survival outcomes.

Absence of bladder cancer cells in surgical smoke from robot-assisted radical cystectomy: a prospective study. (PubMed, Front Urol)
The exosome levels in smoke were significantly lower than that in controls. Based on these findings, we concluded that the surgical smoke produced during RARC does not contain cancer cells, genes, or exosomes.

Clinical and genomic profiling of early-onset bladder cancer identifies key alterations and therapeutic targets. (PubMed, medRxiv)
Our results indicate that early-onset bladder cancer is a distinct patient population that has disease driven by specific somatic mutations, some of which represent therapeutic targets. This suggests potential benefits of genomic tumor profiling in guiding personalized treatment.
