Enfortumab vedotin promotes PD-L1 expression in urothelial carcinoma via NF-κB and STAT3 pathways highlighting mechanisms of immune evasion and potential for combination therapy

 Published on 10/10/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Naito Hirohito et al. | BMC Immunology 2025; 26(1): 70

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is diagnosed in nearly 600,000 new cases annually and is responsible for over 200,000 deaths worldwide, making it the ninth most common malignant neoplasm [1]. UC is the predominant histologic subtype of bladder cancer, accounting for 90% of bladder cancer cases [2]. and 7%...

Clinicopathological and molecular correlates of clinical benefit from disitamab vedotin (RC48), a HER-2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in metastatic urothelial carcinoma: a multi-center, real-world study

 Published on 03/10/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Liu Zhaopei et al. | BMC Cancer 2025; 25(1): 1430

Urothelial carcinoma (UC), the malignant tumor arising from the epithelium lining the ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra, is a highly heterogeneous disease. Though for most patients, the standard care of neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy followed by radical surgery, might curb the disease within...

The efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma: a multicenter real-world study

 Published on 26/09/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Ng Cheoklong et al. | Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy 2025; 74(10): 304

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a type of cancer that arises from urothelial cells, occurring in both the upper urinary tract (renal pelvis and ureter) and lower urinary tract (bladder). It ranks as the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide [1]. Upper tract UC (UTUC) accounted for 5–10%...

Virulence factors and outcomes in bacteremia caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli ST131-H30Rx in a Swedish county

 Published on 19/09/2025 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Möller Vidar et al. | BMC Infectious Diseases 2025; 25(1): 1103

The global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been estimated to cause between 1.1 and 1.3 million deaths per year directly attributable to and between 4.2 and 5.2 million deaths associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria [1]. Both globally and in Sweden, bacteremia and less severe...
