Prognostic Value of Postneoadjuvant Chemotherapy Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients undergoing Radical Cystectomy

Krystian Kaczmarek, Bartosz Małkiewicz, Adam Gurwin, Wiktor Krawczyk et autres

Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a widely assessed biomarker in most common diseases, is typically evaluated before treatment initiation. However, data on NLR in the post-treatment setting is limited. Therefore, we assessed the NLR calculated after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) initiation in patients with …

Association of Lymphovascular Invasion with Lymph Node Metastases in Prostate Cancer—Lateralization Concept

Jakub Karwacki, Adam Gurwin, Arkadiusz Jaworski, Michał Jarocki et autres

Background. Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a vital but often overlooked prognostic factor in prostate cancer. As debates on lymphadenectomy’s overtreatment emerge, understanding LVI laterality gains importance. This study pioneers the investigation into PCa, aiming to uncover patterns that could influence tailored surgical …

Preoperative Factors for Lymphovascular Invasion in Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Jakub Karwacki, Marcel Stodolak, Łukasz Nowak, Paweł Kiełb et autres

Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is one of the most important prognostic factors in prostate cancer (PCa) and is correlated with worse survival rates, biochemical recurrence (BCR), and lymph node metastasis (LNM). The ability to predict LVI preoperatively in PCa may be useful for …

Assessment of the incidence and risk factors of postoperative urosepsis in patients undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy

Krystian Kaczmarek, Marta Jankowska, Jakub Kalembkiewicz, Jakub Kienitz et autres

Introduction: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) is an approved, minimally invasive, low-risk procedure for urolithiasis treatment. However, some patients may develop urinary tract infection (UTI) post-procedure, eventually leading to urosepsis. Determining the predictors of infection after URSL would help identify patients at a high …
