Tumor microenvironment (TME) is a huge network, composed by tumor cells, tumor associated stromal cells, immune cells, cytokines and chemokines secreted by these cells, in which various cells communicate with each other. Bladder cancer is characterized of tendency of relapse, progression, metastasis because of the role of TME. With the application and development of new technologies recently, such as tumor bulk RNA-sequencing and single-cell transcriptome sequencing, the composition of TME for bladder cancer is increasingly clear and the complex cell-to-cell communication network is fully duged, which provides a new vision for the therapy of bladder cancer. This paper reviewed and further analysed the research hotspots of cellular components and extracellular matrix components of bladder cancer on the basis of the latest research progress.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), cancer of the tubules of the kidneys, has historically been one of the most difficult cancers to treat due to its ability to remain hidden in the body for longer than other cancers and its tendency to resist traditional forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, both traditional and nontraditional treatments of RCC have seen both significant biomedical advancements and clinical instances of use in recent years. In this review, we analyze five treatments of RCC: Nephrectomy, Immunotherapy, Anti-Angiogenesis, Chemotherapy, and Radiation Therapy, providing background on their mechanisms and clinical outcomes. Through our review of studies of clinical outcomes, we reaffirm the existing thought that nephrectomy remains the most effective treatment for RCC, while radiation therapy and chemotherapy are generally less effective and not recommended for treatment on their own. Immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy have been shown to be effective treatments in the modern healthcare landscape and show great potential for the future as the techniques are better developed and optimized.

Prostate cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in men worldwide, and its incidence is increasing in China. Treatment methods of prostate cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and local therapy. Compared to all treatment options for prostate cancer, local treatment has the advantage of less trauma and fewer complications. With the wide application of PSA screening, improvement and enhancement of transperineal puncture technology under template positioning and the development of multi-parameter MRI, more and more low-grade and localized prostate cancer are detected. Most prostate cancer patients receive total gland therapy after diagnosis, but patients with localized prostate cancer may not benefit from treatment because of the side effects of total gland therapy. With the development of imaging technology and the "main focus" theory, focal therapy techniques have been greatly developed. Focal therapy (FT) is a treatment method for localized prostate cancer (Pca), which mainly targets low and medium-risk localized disease to reduce whole-gland treatment. Such as radical prostatectomy (RP) or the adverse effects of radical external radiotherapy, FT has the advantage of preserving more sexual and bladder function while controlling the tumor. The current focal therapy techniques used in clinic mainly include high-intensity focused ultrasound, focal laser ablation, cryotherapy, irreversible electroporation, and photodynamic therapy. In this study, we reviewed the clinical trials of focal therapy in recent years and found that high-intensity focused ultrasound and focal laser ablation have better failure-free survival and postoperative functional control.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common tumors in urinary system, and its incidence ranks 7th and 8th in male and female in the United States with a continuous upward trend in last 5 years. In China, RCC also shows a significant growth trend. Because the early symptoms are not obvious, many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease and often have a poor prognosis. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are particularly important for RCC control. With the advent of the era of innovation in imaging modalities, even early detection of RCC in patients is not possible. However, with the steady increase in the value of liquid biopsy and the emergence of Next-generation sequencing technology, the research on tumor genomics continues to advance, and sequencing combined with liquid biopsy is applied in solid tumors. With this merging, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection is becoming more and more mature, providing a new tool to resolve this problem. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a tumor-derived fragment of DNA in blood or body fluids. It can reflect the information of the entire tumor genome and is easy to obtain. ctDNA has important clinical application in tumor diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of disease recurrence, therapeutic effect and chemotherapy resistance. Recent studies show that ctDNA also have clinical value in RCCS as circulating tumor DNA detection may serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis, and monitoring disease course. This article reviews the application of ctDNA in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of RCCS.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary system. The incidence of prostate cancer is high in the elderly male patients, which seriously threatens the life and health. In recent years, immunotherapy to activate anti-cancer host immune cells to kill tumors has become a new area of research for the treatment of prostate cancer. As an important component of immunotherapy, cancer vaccines have a unique position in the precise treatment of malignant tumors. There are many types of prostate cancer vaccines, including monocyte vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, viral vaccines, peptide vaccines, and DNA/mRNA vaccines, etc. As the most important cancer vaccine based on monocytes, it is the only prostate cancer therapeutic vaccine approved by the US Food and Drug Administration at present, which plays an extremely important role in the immunotherapy of prostate cancer. However, due to its own limitations, SipuleucelT has not been widely adopted. Currently, the complexity of immunotherapy and the specificity of prostate cancer mean that other prostate cancer vaccines have not shown expected clinical benefits in large randomized phase II and III trials, and further in-depth studies are still needed.

Bladder cancer (Bca) is one of the most common tumors in the urinary system. Cystoscopy biopsy is a gold standard for diagnosis of Bca in the clinic. However, cystoscopy biopsy is invasive, costly and invasive process causing pain in the patients. Because the Bca cells are closely in contact with urine, and the exosomes of the Bca can pass through the base membrane and transport the microRNA (miRNAs) to the urine, so the detection of the exosome-derived miRNAs in the urine is expected to be a new non-invasive method for diagnostics of Bca. Recently, liquid biopsy for miRNAs in urine is the recent research hotspot. In this review, we mainly introduce the feasibility of the application of the miRNAs from exosome to Bca, and its feasibility to detect Bca.

Prostate cancer (Pca) is the second common cancer in men worldwide. Although prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screen can serve as a diagnostic marker in most of the patients with Pca, its diagnostic specificity is insufficient, and the false positive rate can result in unnecessary biopsy increasing pain and treatment costs in patients. Exosomes are source for mRNA, microRNA, non-encoded RNA, protein, and lipids. In recent years, exosome are used for assessment of tumors and serve as tumor markers for early diagnosis and disease prognosis. This article highlights the application of exosomes in connection with diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Pca.

Bladder cancer is a major public health problem in the world, and is one of the most common malignant tumors in the genito-urinary system. Due to its high incidence and mortality, it remains a serious threat to human health. In recent years, related researches on the occurrence of bladder cancer found a certain connection between the expression level of circRNA and development of bladder cancer. circRNA can accomplish the purpose of promoting or inhibiting the occurrence and progression of bladder cancer by affecting the expression of related miRNA and mRNA. Higher expression levels of some circRNAs such as circITCH, circACVR2A, circPICALM, and circZKSCAN1 demonstrate an improved prognostic survival of patients with bladder cancer. Higher expression of circBPTF and circPRMT5 correlated with worse prognosis in bladder cancer patients. This article highlights a relationship between CircRNA and bladder cancer.

Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that has been recent topic of interest in cancer therapy. Growing evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in ferroptosis and associated with the incidence and progression of cancer. However, the relationship between lncRNA and ferroptosis in urologic cancers has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (frlncRNAs) in urologic cancers. Studies indicate that frlncRNAs are associated with cancer metabolism, tumor microenvironment, and immune cell infiltration. In addition, frlncRNAs could regulate ferroptosis related genes both at the mRNA and protein level. Therefore, a deep understanding of the roles of frlncRNAs in urologic cancers occurrence and progression will provide novel information for the development of anticancer therapies.
