For treatment of mesh erosion into the bladder, a robotic approach offers excellent visualization, is feasible, and well-tolerated. Compared to fragmenting the mesh using an endoscopic approach, the robotic approach has the advantage of excising the mesh definitively, eliminating the foreign body in the bladder and preventing future recurrences of mesh erosion. Properly selected patients should be offered the robotic approach to mesh excision.

The urinary bladder carcinoma (BC) is the second most common malignant disease of the urinary tract. The uncontrolled cell proliferation of these tumors is one of the main caracteristics of the neoplastic cell. The goal of this study is to characterize and compare profiles of cellular energy metabolism on the different histological grades of NMIBC to, if possible, establish a Clinical-pathological and prognostic relevance criteria to classify those tumors.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 161.360 new cases of Prostate Cancer will be diagnosed in the United States of America (USA) in 2017. Faced with such alarming data, research into new terapeutic options is necessary, and the P-MAPA immunomodulator opens a new perspective for the combat of this type of cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to characterize the molecular effects of P-MAPA immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer treatment involving cellular energy metabolism.
