The improved life expectancy of patients with HIV requires physicians to consider their general wellbeing and sexual health with a renewed interest. However, data on sexual dysfunction in those with HIV are scarce. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common sexual dysfunction in men, with a ...
Recent findings suggest that human microbiome can influence the development of cancer, but the role of microorganisms in bladder cancer pathogenesis has not been explored yet. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the urinary microbiome of bladder cancer patients with those of healthy...
Life expectancy for people withmetastatic bladder canceris just one year, and the treatment they are given, chemotherapy, hasn't changed in 40 years. This new trial, called EV302, involved nearly 900 people aimed to change this and to develop the first new treatment for bladder cancer that h...
Data on aging and increased life expectancy underscore the need for greater attention to the development of cancer in the elderly. The influence and expansion of interest in the concomitant age-associated illness burden of older persons diagnosed with UCB is essential. Urologists and medical oncologist...
Gallbladder cancer is the most common biliary tract malignancy and sixth most common cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. It shows significant female preponderance and extreme geographic variation. More than 50% patients have metastatic disease on prese
What are the goals of my treatment? Are we trying to cure the cancer, slow it down, shrink it, or control symptoms it’s causing? What’s the success rate of this treatment for my type of bladder cancer? What’s the life expectancy for someone with my stage of cancer who gets this...
Can bladder cancer spread to the prostate? Can bladder cancer cause bladder infections? Can bladder cancer spread to the lungs? Does bladder cancer cause frequent urination? Can bladder cancer spread to the bones? What is the life expectancy for someone with bladder cancer?
Bladder Cancer Prognosis The outlook for bladder cancer patients depends on the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis. Patients with metastatic bladder cancer that has spread to other organs have an average life expectancy of 12 to 18 months. Recurrent cancer suggests a more aggressive type an...
An international clinical trial of a treatment for advanced urothelial cancer has found a new dual therapy can nearly double patients' life expectancy. The new immunotherapy is a combination of two drugs—enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab—delivered by infusion, and it is now being submit...
Bladder cancer incidence increases with age, presumably reflecting a cumulative exposure to carcinogens and ever-increasing life expectancy. While aberrant protein expression due to DNA mutations is an essential step during oncogenesis, one recent interest has been the role of epigenetic changes in regul...
