Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Pembrolizumab, a second-line therapy for platinum-refractory advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC), is needed to improve objective response rate. Hence, it is crucial to identify optimal predictive biomarkers of responses. This study aimed to clarify the predictive value and role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in selecting patients with advanced UC who might benefit clinically from pembrolizumab therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 31 patients who received pembrolizumab therapy for UC. STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3), and PD-L1 expression were determined using tissue microarrays constructed from patient-derived specimens, and the association of these expression levels with overall survival was analyzed. We assessed the functional role of STAT3 in bladder cancer cell lines in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). RESULTS Patients with high STAT3 or p-STAT3 expression, and high platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (n=6) had a significantly shorter OS; in the other patients (n=25), high STAT3 or p-STAT3 expression was significantly associated with improved prognosis. IFN-γ-induced apoptosis was partially dependent on STAT3 in T24 cells but not in JMSU1 cells. CONCLUSION In patients with advanced UC, STAT3 plays a key role in mediating the efficacy of pembrolizumab through apoptosis in response to IFN-γ.

Abstract
Introduction The efficacy of olaparib for treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer is unknown. Here, we report a case of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer with a BRCA2 mutation that was treated with olaparib with 1-year efficacy. Case presentation A 75-year-old man initially diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma developed treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer after 10-year androgen deprivation therapy. Despite the initial temporary effects of etoposide and carboplatin, the patient experienced prostate bed tumor recurrence 1 year after chemotherapy cessation. FoundationOne® detected a BRCA2 gene mutation, and olaparib was initiated after repeating one chemotherapy course using the same chemotherapeutic agents. The patient received olaparib with sustained tumor regression for 1 year without severe side effects. Conclusion Olaparib may be the treatment of choice for treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer in patients with BRCA mutations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of radiation therapy with atezolizumab as bladder-preserving therapy for invasive bladder cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS A multicenter, phase 2 study was conducted with patients with clinically T2-3 or very-high-risk T1 bladder cancer who were poor candidates for or refused radical cystectomy. The interim analysis of pCR is reported as a key secondary endpoint ahead of the progression-free survival rate primary endpoint. Radiation therapy (41.4 Gy to the small pelvic field and 16.2 Gy to the whole bladder) was given in addition to 1200 mg intravenous atezolizumab every 3 weeks. After 24 treatment weeks, response was assessed after transurethral resection, and tumor programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression was assessed using tumor-infiltrating immune cell scores. RESULTS Forty-five patients enrolled from January 2019 to May 2021 were analyzed. The most common clinical T stage was T2 (73.3%), followed by T1 (15.6%) and T3 (11.1%). Most tumors were solitary (77.8%), small (<3 cm) (57.8%), and without concurrent carcinoma in situ (88.9%). Thirty-eight patients (84.4%) achieved pCR. High pCR rates were achieved in older patients (90.9%) and in patients with high PD-L1-expressing tumors (95.8% vs 71.4%). Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 93.3% of patients, with diarrhea being the most common (55.6%), followed by frequent urination (42.2%) and dysuria (20.0%). The frequency of grade 3 AEs was 13.3%, whereas no grade 4 AEs were observed. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy with radiation therapy and atezolizumab provided high pCR rates and acceptable toxicity, indicating it could be a promising option for bladder preservation therapy.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has been established for patients with advanced urothelial cancer (UC). The necessity of overcoming resistance to ICIs and identifying a predictive factor for the same has been highlighted, such as the assessment of combination therapy with other targeted drugs and the characterization of molecular signatures in the tumor microenvironment. Recently, we reported that low hemoglobin (Hb) levels and a high platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were significantly associated with overall survival in patients with UC who did not benefit from pembrolizumab treatment. In the present study, we identified a possible link between these unfavorable prognostic indicators and PDGF-DD-induced STAT3 activation in UC. Overlapping patients between the high STAT3- or phosphorylated STAT3-positive score group (as assessed by immunohistochemistry) and low Hb levels or high PLR group (as assessed by blood tests) showed significantly worse outcomes after pembrolizumab treatment. Additionally, using the bladder cancer JMSU1 cell line, we demonstrated a possible positive regulatory loop between autocrine/paracrine PDGF-DD and STAT3 signaling. Therefore, we suggest that STAT3 inhibition and PDGF-DD detection in the tumor microenvironment might represent a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance to pembrolizumab. Moreover, this can help identify patients with UC who could benefit from combination treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although nivolumab plus ipilimumab has become a standard treatment regimen for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), its efficacy in non-clear cell carcinoma (nccRCC) has not been fully examined. In the current study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in nccRCC compared with ccRCC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced unresectable nccRCC who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab as a first-line therapy and compared them with 107 patients with ccRCC. Objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity were compared between the nccRCC and ccRCC groups. RESULTS The histology of nccRCC included eight papillary, six unclassified, three chromophobe, two collecting duct carcinoma, and three other subtypes. Best objective response in nccRCC patients included three complete responses and five partial responses, resulting in an ORR of 36%, while that in ccRCC patients was 50% (p = 0.22). With a median follow-up of 11.9 months, OS was significantly shorter in patients with nccRCC than in those with ccRCC (median 20.8 months vs. not reached, p = 0.04), while there was no significant difference in PFS (median 6.3 vs. 10.8 months, p = 0.21). Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 14 (64%) nccRCC patients and 81 (76%) ccRCC patients. CONCLUSIONS Combination treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab demonstrated modest clinical efficacy in patients with nccRCC compared with patients with ccRCC, suggesting it could be a therapeutic option for metastatic nccRCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance of metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastatic prostate cancer has been widely discussed, and targeted therapy for progressive sites is a feasible option as a multidisciplinary treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). When oligometastatic CRPC with only bone metastases progresses after targeted therapy, it tends to progress as multiple bone metastases. The progression of oligometastatic CRPC after targeted therapy may be due in part to the presence of micrometastatic lesions that, though undetected on imaging, were present prior to targeted therapy. Thus the systemic treatment of micrometastases in combination with targeted therapy for progressive sites is expected to enhance the therapeutic effect. Radium-223 dichloride (radium-223) is a radiopharmaceutical that selectively binds to sites of increased bone turnover and inhibits the growth of adjacent tumor cells by emitting alpha rays. Therefore, for oligometastatic CRPC with only bone metastases, radium-223 may enhance the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy for active metastases. METHODS This phase II, randomized trial of Metastasis-Directed therapy with ALpha emitter radium-223 in men with oligometastatic CRPC (MEDAL) is designed to assess the utility of radium-223 in combination with metastasis-directed radiotherapy in patients with oligometastatic CRPC confined to bone. In this trial, patients with oligometastatic CRPC with three or fewer bone metastases on whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive radiotherapy for active metastases plus radium-223 or radiotherapy for active metastases alone. The prior use of androgen receptor axis-targeted therapy and prostate-specific antigen doubling time will be used as allocation factors. The primary endpoint will be radiological progression-free survival against progression of bone metastases on WB-DWI. DISCUSSION This will be the first randomized trial to evaluate the effect of radium-223 in combination with targeted therapy in oligometastatic CRPC patients. The combination of targeted therapy for macroscopic metastases with radiopharmaceuticals targeting micrometastasis is expected to be a promising new therapeutic strategy for patients with oligometastatic CRPC confined to bone.

BACKGROUND/AIM Several prognostic risk factors have been recognized when using cisplatin-based conventional chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC); these include performance status (PS), liver metastasis, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, time from prior chemotherapy (TFPC), and other systemic inflammation scores including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). However, the benefit of these indicators for predicting outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitors is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the predictive value of the indicators in patients who received pembrolizumab for the treatment of advanced UC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-five patients who received pembrolizumab treatment for advanced UC were included. The Karnofsky PS, liver metastasis, hemoglobin levels, TFPC, NLR, and PLR were analyzed, and their relationship with overall survival (OS) was determined. RESULTS All factors were highlighted as significant prognostic indicators for OS in the univariate proportional regression analysis (p<0.05 for each). Multivariate analysis revealed that Karnofsky PS and liver metastasis were independent prognostic indicators for OS (p<0.01) but were applicable only for a small number of patients. Notably, the combined analysis with low Hb levels and high PLR was significantly associated with OS in patients who could gain less benefit from pembrolizumab at a median of 6.6 [95% confidence interval (CI)=4.2-9.0] versus 15.1 (95% CI=12.4-17.8) months (p=0.002). CONCLUSION The combination of Hb levels and PLR may be a broadly applicable indicator for the outcome of pembrolizumab as second-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced UC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative inguinal hernia (IH) is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy (RP) including robot-assisted RP (RARP). However, a procedure to prevent IH after RARP has not been established. We investigated the impact of processus vaginalis transection (PVT) and PVT with peritoneal closure on IH after RARP. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on data from patients who underwent RARP at two tertiary hospitals in Japan, where PVT with subsequent peritoneal closure was introduced after 2014. The incidence of IH for 2 years after RARP was compared among 79 patients without PVT or peritoneal closure, 232 patients with only PVT, and 325 patients with PVT and peritoneal closure. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models that adjusted for hospital, age, history of abdominal operation, body mass index, operation time, and prostate weight were used. RESULTS Postoperative IH was observed in seven (8.9%) patients without PVT or peritoneal closure, 34 (15%) patients with only PVT, and nine (2.8%) patients with PVT and peritoneal closure. Compared with patients without PVT or peritoneal closure, the incidence of IH was not different in patients with only PVT (hazard ratio [HR] 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34, 2.38) and significantly lower in patients with PVT and peritoneal closure (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.07, 0.70). CONCLUSION PVT with peritoneal closure may reduce the risk of postoperative IH after RARP. Future randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Real-world incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been rarely demonstrated. The present study aims to report the safety outcomes of this combination therapy in the real-life population. We conducted a multi-institutional retrospective observational study that assessed the incidence and severity of irAEs associated with nivolumab plus ipilimumab in 41 Japanese patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced RCC. The irAEs were classified into endocrine and non-endocrine irAEs. The median age and follow-up period were 68 years and 13.0 months, respectively. Endocrine irAEs were observed in 66% of patients, including hypopituitarism in 44%, hyperthyroidism in 41%, and primary hypothyroidism in 22%, while non-endocrine irAEs were observed in 54%. All patients experiencing hypopituitarism presented with adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, causing secondary adrenal insufficiency, which required permanent corticosteroid replacement therapy. There was an association between the incidence of endocrine irAEs and high-grade non-endocrine irAEs other than skin-related irAEs (p = 0.027). When patients experienced two or more endocrine irAEs, they had a 35% chance of experiencing high-grade non-endocrine irAEs other than skin-related irAEs. Nivolumab plus ipilimumab may lead to a high prevalence of endocrine irAEs in “real-world” patients. Endocrine irAEs may be associated with non-endocrine irAEs other than skin-related irAEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of colorectal cancer and chronic radiation proctitis after prostate radiotherapy using periodic total colonoscopy screening. METHODS From February 2013 to January 2018, 270 patients who underwent external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer were advised to receive periodic total colonoscopy screening annually. We evaluated the incidence and characteristics of colorectal cancer and chronic radiation proctitis. RESULTS First, second, third, fourth and fifth total colonoscopy were performed in 256 (95%), 151 (56%), 60 (22%), 23 (8.5%) and 7 (2.6%) patients at a median of 14, 31, 42, 54 and 72 months after radiotherapy, respectively. The prevalence proportion of colorectal cancer in the first colonoscopy since radiotherapy was 3.9%. Twelve (4.4%) patients were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, including four invasive cancers, during a follow-up period. Eight of these 12 patients had not experienced rectal bleeding. The median time to diagnosis of colorectal cancer was 21 months. Chronic radiation proctitis was observed in 136 (50%) patients, including 67 (25%) patients with symptomatic bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The high detection rate of asymptomatic radiation proctitis suggests the utility of total colonoscopy to screen for early-stage colorectal cancer prior to or following radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Considering the longevity after localized prostate cancer treatment, the awareness of chronic radiation-induced proctitis and the risk of colorectal cancer masked by bleeding is needed in treatment decision -making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dynamic change in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, CRP kinetics, is a prognostic factor for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. We investigated the impact of early CRP kinetics on the efficacy of nivolumab in patients with mRCC. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 42 mRCC patients who were treated with nivolumab as a second-line or later therapy between 2016 and 2019. All patients had received previous TKI therapy. Patients were divided into three groups based on their early CRP kinetics: CRP levels increased to more than double compared with baseline within 1 month after initiation of nivolumab (flare) and then decreased to a lower value than baseline within 3 months (CRP flare-responders); CRP levels decreased by ≥30% within 3 months without "flare" (CRP responders); and the remaining patients (non-CRP responders). The maximum tumor shrinkage, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. The association of the early CRP kinetics and oncological outcomes was assessed. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 8 months. The median baseline CRP level was 23 mg/L. CRP flare-responders, CRP responders, and non-CRP responders included 11 (26%), 15 (36%), and 16 (38%) patients, respectively. Thirteen patients (31%) died of mRCC. The maximum changes in target lesions from baseline of CRP flare-responder, CRP-responder, and non-CRP responder groups were -38%, -13%, and 16%, on average, respectively (p<0.001). ORRs of these three groups were 73%, 27%, and 6%, respectively (p<0.001). The median PFS values of each group were not reached, 12 months, and 2.4 months (p=0.005), and the median OS values were not reached, not reached, and 12 months (p=0.048). In a multivariate analysis, early CRP kinetics was a significant independent factor for objective response, PFS, and OS (p<0.001, p=0.004, and p=0.006, respectively). CONCLUSIONS CRP flare-response was associated with significant tumor shrinkage and improved survival outcomes in patients with mRCC who were treated with nivolumab. Early CRP kinetics could be useful for evaluating nivolumab treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitors can potentially induce synergistic antitumor immune responses. However, little clinical evidence is established regarding their combination therapy. Here, we aimed to assess whether radiotherapy to the primary tumor impacts on the efficacy of pembrolizumab in advanced urothelial cancer. We retrospectively reviewed 98 advanced urothelial cancer patients receiving pembrolizumab in a second- or later-line setting using our multicenter cohort. Patients were categorized according to a history of radiotherapy to the primary tumor: patients previously exposed to radiotherapy to the primary tumor (Radiotherapy group, 17 patients [17%]) and those not (Nonradiotherapy group, 81 patients [83%]). The associations of radiotherapy to the primary tumor with objective response and survival were evaluated. The Radiotherapy group showed a significantly higher objective response ratio than did the Non-radiotherapy group (65% vs 19%; P < .001). The Radiotherapy group had a higher progression-free survival rate compared with the Nonradiotherapy group (52% vs 28% at 12 months; P = .078), but statistical significance was not reached. The Radiotherapy group had a significantly higher overall survival rate compared with the Non-radiotherapy group (77% vs 50% at 12 months; P = .025). From multivariate analysis, radiotherapy to the primary tumor was an independent predictor for longer overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.31; P = .032) along with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1 and the absence of visceral metastasis. Therefore, radiotherapy to the primary tumor may enhance the efficacy of pembrolizumab for patients with advanced urothelial cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the prophylactic efficacy of postoperative single intravesical instillation with pirarubicin (THP) and mitomycin C (MMC) for low-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 103 clinically low-risk NMBC patients were preoperatively randomized into either THP (n=49) or MMC (n=54) groups. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival. RESULTS The median follow-up periods of the THP and MMC groups were 955 and 1008 days, respectively (p=0.76). Twelve patients (24.5%) in the THP group and 7 (13%) in the MMC group had bladder cancer recurrences. The two-year recurrence-free survival of the THP group and the MMC group was 77.8% and 86.4%, respectively (p=0.20). Neither groups had severe toxicity. CONCLUSION In low-risk NMBC, the prophylactic effect against postoperative single intravesical instillation with THP was not superior to that with MMC.

Abstract
An association between the development of overall or specific immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors has recently been suggested. To address this emerging association in patients with urothelial cancer receiving pembrolizumab, we conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis, which is the first and largest in an Asian cohort as well as a systematic literature review. We retrospectively evaluated 97 patients with advanced urothelial cancer treated with pembrolizumab as second- or later-line treatment between January 2018 and March 2019. irAEs were categorized by the involved organs and graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Associations between irAEs and pembrolizumab efficacy, including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), were evaluated. In our review of the literature, 28 studies, including 9 studies involving patients with urothelial cancer and 19 studies reporting the association between outcomes and spectrum of irAEs, were analyzed. Patients with irAEs had significantly higher ORR (52% vs. 16%, P < .01), longer PFS (11.0 months vs. 3.6 months, P < .01) and OS (median not reached vs. 13.1 months, P = .12) than in patients without irAEs. Endocrine (P = .02), pneumological (P = .06), and other (gastrointestinal, hematological, hepatic) (P = .04) irAEs were associated with increased ORR, whereas skin irAEs were not. Endocrine irAEs (P = .04) was associated with improved OS, whereas pneumological and skin irAEs were not. The association between the occurrence of irAEs and clinical efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors was consistently supported by the multiple studies we reviewed. The association between clinical outcomes and the spectrum of organs/systems affected by irAEs seems to be inconsistent and could be dependent on tumor type. irAEs were associated with a higher ORR and better survival of patients with advanced urothelial cancer treated with pembrolizumab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic significance of contact with the renal sinus in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. METHODS A total of 787 pT1N0M0 clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients who had undergone radical or partial nephrectomy were reviewed retrospectively. A tumor in contact with the renal sinus was defined as a tumor radiologically attached to the renal sinus. Metastatic-free survival rates were analyzed in the total and propensity score-matched cohorts. A risk score model for metastasis after surgery was developed. RESULTS Of the 787 patients, 411 (52.2%) had tumors in contact with renal sinus. The contact with renal sinus group showed poorer metastatic-free survival in both total and matched cohorts. In multivariate analysis, contact with renal sinus was an independent prognostic factor of metastasis, as well as Fuhrman grade, microvascular invasion and age. The scoring model likewise consisted of Fuhrman grade, microvascular invasion, age and contact with renal sinus. Metastasis-free survival curves were clearly stratified according to risk, with 5-year metastasis-free survival rates of 95.7% and 65.2% in the low- and high-risk groups, respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Contact with the renal sinus is a significant risk factor for metastasis in T1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma after surgery. More intensive follow up should be recommended for patients with renal cell carcinoma that is in contact with the renal sinus.

Abstract
Introduction We herein present a case of malignant melanoma of the male urethra with an increased serum 5‐S‐cysteinyldopa concentration. Case presentation A 77‐year‐old man visited our hospital complaining dysuria and a dark brown mass protruding from the external urethral meatus. His serum 5‐S‐cysteinyldopa concentration was elevated beyond the upper limit of the reference range. Biopsy of the tumor was performed, and the histological diagnosis was malignant melanoma. He underwent total penectomy, and the serum 5‐S‐cysteinyldopa concentration was normalized. He remained alive without evidence of locoregional recurrence or distant metastases for 6 months after surgery. Conclusion Malignant melanoma of the male urethra is uncommon. The prognosis is favorable if it is detected in its early stages. This case report suggests that measurement of the serum concentration of 5‐S‐cysteinyldopa, a melanin metabolite, is useful for early diagnosis of male urethral melanoma.

Abstract
We analyzed whether TUR was feasible in 4 cases of urinary bladder recurrence of sigmoid colon cancer that invaded into the bladder. Case No. 1 involved a 66-year-old male who presented with sigmoid colon cancer that had invaded the urinary bladder; he underwent sigmoidectomy with partial bladder resection. Six months after the operation, a small, protruded lesion in his urinary bladder was detected and TUR was performed. He has been cancer free for 10 years. Case No. 2 involved a 53- year-old female who underwent sigmoidectomy and hepatectomy for her sigmoid colon cancer and liver metastasis. She developed bladder and liver metastases, which were resected. Four months later, she underwent TUR because she developed a small recurrent tumor in the bladder. Since then, she has had no intrapelvic recurrence for 6 years. Case No. 3 was a 44- year-old male who underwent bladder-preserving resection for a sigmoid colon cancer that had invaded his bladder. He developed a relatively large bladder tumor 1 year 6 months later. TUR was performed and he was administered CRT. He has had no recurrences for 2 years 5 months. Case No. 4 was a 68-year-old male who underwent bladder-preserving surgery for a sigmoid colon cancer that had invaded his bladder. Because he developed a recurrence in the bladder, he underwent TUR 3 months later. He developed a recurrence in the bladder again 1 year 7 months later, and he underwent TUR again. Multiple organ metastases became evident and was prescribed chemotherapy for 2 years. From these cases, we conclude that TUR may be a feasible option for small, protruded recurrences in the bladder, but we should not hesitate to perform total cystectomy if the first TUR is unsuccessful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of tumor location for patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC) has been disputed. Several papers have reported that ureteral cancer is associated with worse prognosis. OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic significance of the presence of ureteral tumors in UUT-UC patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this multicenter retrospective study, 1068 eligible patients (median follow-up: 40 mo [interquartile range: 17-77 mo]) were divided into three groups based on tumor location: renal pelvic, ureteral, and both-regional (having both renal pelvic and ureteral tumors). The ureteral and both-regional groups were subsequently integrated into the ureteral involvement group to evaluate its prognostic impact. INTERVENTION All patients underwent RNU. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The prognostic impact of tumor location on survival was analyzed. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The renal pelvic, ureteral, and both-regional groups consisted of 507 (47.5%), 430 (40.3%), and 131 (12.3%) patients, respectively. The ureteral and both-regional groups had a higher rate of lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis compared with the renal pelvic group. The renal pelvic and both-regional tumors presented more frequently with locally advanced stages (pT3/T4) compared with the ureteral tumors. The 5-yr cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of patients in the ureteral (70.5% and 66.7%, respectively) and both-regional groups (64.8% and 57.8%, respectively) were significantly worse than those in the renal pelvic group (81.9% and 78.1%, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, the presence of ureteral involvement was a significant prognostic factor for CSS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.50; p=0.006) and PFS (HR: 1.35; p=0.023). This study is inherently limited by the biases associated with its retrospective and multicenter design. CONCLUSIONS The presence of ureteral involvement had a significant impact on the survival of surgically treated UUT-UC patients associated with a poor prognosis. PATIENT SUMMARY We demonstrated that the ureteral involvement was associated with poor survival compared with patients with renal pelvic tumor only in upper urinary tract urothelial patients treated by nephroureterectomy.

Abstract
AIM To clarify how body mass index (BMI) affects the risk of death from upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) we investigated the impact of BMI on UUTUC using a Japanese multicenter database. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1995 and December 2010, 1,329 patients with upper urinary tract tumors were treated in 13 institutions in Japan. From this group, a cohort of 1,014 patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy was retrospectively reviewed. BMI was categorized into the following three groups: BMI <22.5, BMI 22.5 to <25 and BMI ≥ 25. The association between each group and cancer-specific survival (CSS) was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS The median BMI was 22.4 kg/m(2) (interquartile range, 20.5-24.8). Out of all patients, 213 (21%) died of UUTUC. Hazard ratios of the BMI ≥ 25 and the BMI <22.5 group were 1.76 and 1.66, respectively. CONCLUSION Both higher and lower BMI affect the prognosis of UUTUC treated with radical nephroureterectomy.

Abstract
A 62-year-old man, with a family history of prostate cancer, referred to our hospital because of elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (6.02 ng/ml). After prophylactic administration of antibiotics (cefotiam), transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate was performed. He was admitted to the hospital due to high fever the next evening. His blood pressure was below the shock level, and his renal function deteriorated progressively. Suspecting septic shock, the patient was treated with Meropenem, γ-globulin, and dopamine, which were not effective. Then, endotoxin adsorption therapy was employed and the condition of the patient recovered soon after the initiation of the therapy. Extended spectrum β -lactamase-producing Escherichia coli was found in his urine. Pathological diagnosis of the biopsy specimen was atypical glands.

Abstract
The present study proposes a new stress evaluation technique using the photoplethysmogram (PTG). Heart rate variability (HRV) is often used to evaluate mental stress. HRV can be measured from an electrocardiogram (ECG). The frequency variability of HRV and mental stress response are related. PTG also indicates changes in emotional response. PTG can easily be measured without body surface electrodes. This method is less invasive than ECG measurement. We attempt herein to evaluate mental stress by wavelet analysis of the PTG. PTG was measured in the resting and mental stress states, and wavelet transformed PTGs were compared. In nine out of ten subjects, the wavelet result for PTG revealed a decrease in the frequency band.

Abstract
Blunt dissection of the peritoneum at the internal inguinal ring and isolation of the spermatic cord from the peritoneum have been demonstrated to be effective for the prevention of post radical prostatectomy (RRP) inguinal hernia. We tested the efficacy of this simple procedure and analyzed the factors affecting the incidence of inguinal hernia. Of the 298 patients who underwent open RRP for clinically localized prostate cancer between February 2005 and March 2011 at Saitama Cancer Center hospital, 186 patients received the simple prophylactic procedure of inguinal hernia. We evaluated the risk factors of inguinal hernia (age, time of operation, intraoperative bleeding, prophylactic procedure of inguinal hernia, previous history of abdominal surgery, previous history of inguinal hernia surgery, nerve sparing, lymph node dissection, body-mass-index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, and smoking) by univariate and multivariate analysis. Effects of the simple prophylactic procedure on incidence of inguinal hernia were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plots. The incidence of inguinal hernia was 29.6% in those without the prophylactic procedure, and 11.4% in those with the prophylactic procedure. In univariate and multivariate analysis, only low BMI was a significant risk factor for inguinal hernia after RRP. Accordingly, the incidence of inguinal hernia was not affected by the prophylactic procedure in Kaplan-Meier analysis. Though the simple prophylactic procedure might be useful for prevention of post-radical prostatectomy inguinal hernia, its efficacy was demonstrated to be limited.
