Treatment Of Urinary Tumors Research Articles

Application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tumors.

Diagnosis and treatment of urological tumors, relying on auxiliary data such as medical imaging, while incorporating individual patient characteristics into treatment selection, has long been a key challenge in clinical medicine. Traditionally, clinicians used extensive experience for decision-making, but recent artificial intelligence (AI) advancements offer new solutions. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), notably convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in medical image recognition, enable precise tumor diagnosis and treatment. These technologies analyze complex medical image patterns, improving accuracy and efficiency. AI systems, by learning from vast datasets, reveal hidden features, offering reliable diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. Early detection is crucial for tumors like renal cell carcinoma (RCC), bladder cancer (BC), and Prostate Cancer (PCa). AI, coupled with data analysis, improves early detection and reduces misdiagnosis rates, enhancing treatment precision. AI's application in urological tumors is a research focus, promising a vital role in urological surgery with improved patient outcomes. This paper examines ML, DL in urological tumors, and AI's role in clinical decisions, providing insights for future AI applications in urological surgery.

Research progress of ferroptosis and urinary tumors

Since the researchers discovered ferroptosis in 2012, they have conducted in-depth research and exploration on the mechanism of ferroptosis and its role in tumor evolution. ferroptosis is a new type of death that is different from apoptosis and necrosis. It is mainly dependent on the cell death caused by the increase of iron and lipid oxygen in the cell and the imbalance of redox homeostasis. After the development of urinary tumors in the middle and late stage, most patients have poor surgical results. Chemotherapy is usually given after surgery. However, some tumor cells are currently resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, the occurrence of ferroptosis increases a new idea in the treatment of urinary tumors. The purpose of this review is to outline the knowledge of ferroptosis mechanisms and regulation, its role in the growth and proliferation of urinary tumor cells, and to provide new strategies for the treatment of urological tumor diseases.
