Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Urology represents one of the surgical specialties in which a minimally invasive approach to various pathologies has seen the greatest advances.

From a minimally invasive approach to renal stone disease to laparoscopic and robotic surgery for different types of cancers, urologists need to continuously learn to keep up with new discoveries.

Continuous medical education represents the key point of this new century. Sharing experiences and challenging situations expressed in well-written manuscripts between medical personnel in this vast specialty represents one of the options available with which to broaden our horizons in terms of new treatment models.

This Special Issue invites studies that may broaden the surgical and clinical applications of these most current developments in the field of urology.

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) is a rare phenomenon documented in patients with multiple primary cancers. This condition is defined as a metastasis between two true primary tumors. The most frequently reported recipient tumor is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and the lung carcinomas are the most common metastatic tumor donors. Therefore, this paper attempts to address the current gap in knowledge about this rare phenomenon. The first part of this review outlines the recently proposed models and mechanisms involved in the TTM process. The second part then summarizes and analyzes previous case reports in the literature. We also present our experience with the case of lung cancer that metastasized into RCC. Given the sporadic incidence of TTM, no specific management guidelines exist. Therefore, considering TTM in patients with multiple primary tumors is important as it could potentially modify the oncological management offered. Full article
