    Abstract (1) Objectives: To describe the relationship between pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment of continuous infusion (CI) piperacillin-tazobactam or meropenem monotherapy and microbiological outcome in a case series of urological patients with documented Gram-negative infections. (2) Methods: Patients admitted to the urology ward who were treated with CI piperacillin-tazobactam or meropenem monotherapy for documented Gram-negative infections and underwent real-time therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-guided expert clinical pharmacological advice (ECPA) program from June 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively retrieved.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) followed by pathology investigation of the obtained specimens is the initial step in the management of urinary bladder cancer (UBC). By following the basic principles of oncological surgery, en-bloc resection of bladder tumour (ERBT) aims to overcome the limitations associated with conventional transurethral resection, and to improve the quality of pathological specimens for a better decision making. The current bulk of evidence provides controversial results regarding the superiority of one technique over the other. The aim of this article is to summarize the recent data and provide evidence on this unanswered question.
    Recent findings: Despite heterogeneous and controversial data, ERBT seems to have a better safety profile and deliver higher quality pathologic specimens. However, the recent evidence failed to support the hypothesized oncological potential benefits of ERBT in the initial surgical treatment of patients with UBC.
    Summary: ERBT has gained increasing interest globally in the past decade. It continues to represent a promising strategy with a variety of features intended to solve the inherent limitations of TURBT. However, the current quality of evidence does not allow solid conclusions to be drawn about its presumed superiority compared with the conventional technique.

    Abstract Paraganglioma (PGL) is characterized by equivocal clinical manifestations and arriving to a suspicion might be challenging. Nevertheless, diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine are a fundamental part of the diagnosis and management of this particular neuroendocrine tumor (NET). We herein report a rare case of bladder paraganglioma with unusual onset and typical PET/CT characteristics that led to its recognition.

    Abstract Multiparametric MRI has been established as the most accurate non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool for detecting prostate cancer (PCa) in both the peripheral zone and the transition zone (TZ) using the PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) v. 2.1 released in 2019 as a guideline to reporting. TZ PCa remains the most difficult to diagnose due to a markedly heterogeneous background and a wide variety of atypical imaging presentations as well as other anatomical and pathological processes mimicking PCa. The aim of this paper was to present a spectrum of PCa in the TZ, as a guide for radiologists.

    Abstract Background: The therapeutic approach of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents a real challenge for clinicians, because of the variable clinical course; the recent availability of numerous targeted therapies that have significantly improved overall oncological results, but still with a low percentage of complete responses; and the increasing role of metastasectomy (MSX) as an effective strategy to achieve a durable cure, or at least defer initiation of systemic therapies, in selected patients and in the context of multimodality treatment strategies.
    Case summary: We report here the case of a 40-year-old man who was referred to our unit in November 2004 with lung and mediastinal lymph nodes metastases identified during periodic surveillance 6 years after a radical nephrectomy for RCC; he underwent MSX of multiple lung nodules and mediastinal lymphadenectomy, with subsequent systemic therapy with Fluorouracil, Interferon-alpha and Interleukin 2. The subsequent clinical course was characterized by multiple sequential abdominal and thoracic recurrences, successfully treated with multiple systemic treatments, repeated local treatments, including two pancreatic resections, conservative resection and ablation of multiple bilobar liver metastases, resection and stereotactic body radiotherapy of multiple lung metastases. He is alive without evidence of recurrence 20 years after initial nephrectomy and sequential treatment of recurrences in multiple sites, including resection of more than 38 metastases, and 5 years after his last MSX.
    Conclusion: This case highlights that effective multimodality therapeutic strategies, including multiple systemic treatments and iterative aggressive surgical resection, can be safely performed with long-term survival in selected patients with multiple metachronous sequential metastases from RCC.

    Abstract Background: To evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) parameters, such as TransPA (transverse prostate maximum sectional area), TransCGA (transverse central gland sectional area), TransPZA (transverse peripheral zone sectional area), and TransPAI (TransPZA/TransCGA ratio) in predicting prostate cancer (PCa) in prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) 3 lesions.
    Methods: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and the best cut-off, were calculated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to evaluate the capability to predict PCa.
    Results: Out of 120 PI-RADS 3 lesions, 54 (45.0%) were PCa with 34 (28.3%) csPCas. Median TransPA, TransCGA, TransPZA and TransPAI were 15.4cm
    Conclusions: In PI-RADS 3 lesions, the TransPA could be useful in selecting patients requiring biopsy.
