Preoperative VEGFR‐TKI Plus ICI Therapy Facilitates 3D‐Guided Cytoreductive Nephron‐Sparing Surgical Feasibility and Immune Remodeling in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
Preoperative VEGFR‐TKI plus ICI therapy in advanced ccRCC normalizes tumor vasculature, enhances CD8⁺ T/B cell infiltration, and promotes TLS maturation, leading to profound tumor microenvironment remodeling. These immunologic changes improve the feasibility of 3D reconstruction‐guided robotic cytoreductive nephron‐sparing surgery, resulting in reduced

Phenotyping Overactive Bladder – Part 2: Can Management be Improved by Phenotyping, and Targeting Therapy According to Urgency Type and Other Characteristics? ICI‐RS 2025

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Management of overactive bladder (OAB) has a stepwise approach in adults and children. This does not account for individual patient variations, which may explain suboptimal outcomes in many patients. Distinct OAB profiles, based on patient characteristics, symptoms, urodynamic findings and imaging have been discussed in Part 1 ...
