Applications of Raman spectroscopy to urology [PDF]
, 2006 Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that can interrogate biological tissues. In doing so it gives us an understanding of the changes in the molecular structure that are associated with disease development.

Predictive and prognostic biomarkers of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy failure in bladder cancer patients: A systematic review. [PDF]
Mol OncolHigh‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...

Human urinary exosomes in bladder cancer patients : properties, concentrations and possible clinical application [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: High grade bladder cancer is extremely aggressive. Early detection is thus an important challenge. De- velopment of non-invasive diagnostic tools particularly using urine samples could be of importance in the diagnosis and surveillance of ...

The Paraganglioma of the Bladder in a Patient with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome
Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Care, 2023 Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine neoplasms. They can be functional or non-functional. Although they can be seen in different localizations, they are rarely seen in the bladder. They may accompany hereditary syndromes.

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
, 2007 Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

Granular Cell Tumors of the Urinary Bladder: An Extremely Rare Entity and Literature Review
Journal of Urological Surgery, 2020 Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the urinary bladder are extremely rare tumors and there are only 26 reported cases in the literature. GCTs are usually benign tumors and it is important to differentiate them from other neoplasms of the bladder such as ...
