Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer have continued to be hot and difficult topics in recent research. In order to have more in-depth discussions about the latest advances and technological innovations in and the clinical applications of imaging in the diagnosis of bladder cancer, we have specifically planned this Special Issue of Diagnostics entitled "Imaging Diagnosis for Bladder Cancer".

The Special Issue covers the imaging examination methods used for the detection of bladder cancer, updates to the diagnostic standards, analyses of the correlations between imaging features and pathological types, the application of radiomics in the diagnosis of bladder cancer and the use of imaging technology in the staging, recurrence monitoring and efficacy evaluation of bladder cancer, as well as the latest developments in the field, etc. In addition, we have also paid special attention to the potential applications of and challenges facing new technologies such as artificial intelligence and deep learning in the imaging and diagnosis of bladder cancer.

We cordially invite experts and scholars to contribute to this Special Issue and jointly contribute their wisdom and strength to the growing research on the use of imaging diagnosis methods for bladder cancer. At the same time, we also hope that our readers can actively read, learn and share the contents of this Special Issue, and continue to promote the progress and development of the fields of bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Labial fusion is a rare condition typically observed in prepubescent girls, but it can also occur in postmenopausal women due to estrogen deficiency. Methods: Our case report presents a unique instance of recurrent complete labial fusion causing bladder outlet obstruction in a postmenopausal woman. Results: The 84-year-old patient presented with dysuria and intermittent urine leakage. A physical examination revealed complete labial fusion with a small central opening. The diagnosis was confirmed through clinical evaluation, and surgical intervention was necessary to relieve the obstruction. Recurrent episodes followed despite a hormonal treatment with topical estrogen. Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the challenge of managing labial fusion in postmenopausal women, where recurrent episodes may complicate treatment. Surgical management, along with hormone therapy, remain essential for optimal outcomes. Further studies are needed to understand the recurrence mechanisms and to establish standardized treatment protocols. Full article
