Ipsilateral dual kidney transplantation: a monocentric experience about 15 cases and literature review
Abstract (EN) Objective: Our study aimed to support the viability of the concept of Ipsilateral Dual Kidney Transplantation (DKT) by presenting our initial experience and proposing a review of the literature in this subject. Methods: Fifteen ipsilateral DKT were performed at Nice University Hospital between August 2010 and March 2012. We have described our skin incision preferences, […]
The relevance of testing the efficacy of anti-angiogenesis treatments on cells derived from primary tumors: a new method for the personalized treatment of renal cell carcinoma
Abstract (EN) Despite the numerous available drugs, the most appropriate treatments for patients affected by common or rare renal cell carcinomas (RCC), like those associated with the Xp11.2 translocation/transcription factor for immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer 3 (TFE3) gene fusion (TFE3 RCC), are not clearly defined. We aimed to make a parallel between the sensitivity to targeted […]
High-dose rate brachytherapy in localized penile cancer: short-term clinical outcome analysis
Abstract (EN) Purpose: To assess clinical outcomes of high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HIB) in localized penile carcinoma. Material and methods: From 03/2006 to 08/2013, patients with biopsy-proven T1-T2 (<4 cm) non-metastatic localized penile squamous cell carcinoma underwent HIB. Under general anaesthesia, after Foley catheter placement, needles were placed in the target volume using a dedicated template. Planification […]
Apport de l’élastographie en temps réel pour la caractérisation des masses testiculaires
Abstract / Résumé (FR) But La généralisation du recours à l’échographie en mode B pour surveiller des lésions testiculaires suspectes a favorisé l’émergence de nodules limites de nature controversée. L’élastographie en temps réel (ETR) pourrait améliorer la précision diagnostique. Nous en avons évalué sa faisabilité et sa valeur diagnostique en pratique clinique courante. Patients Tous […]
Dismantling papillary renal cell carcinoma classification: the heterogeneity of genetic
Abstract (EN) Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the second most frequent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after clear cell RCC. In contrast to clear cell RCC, there is no consensual protocol using targeted therapy for metastatic pRCC. Moreover, diagnosis of some pRCC, especially pRCC of type 2 (pRCC2) may be challenging. Our aim was to […]
