In both bladder and kidney cancers gender-specific differences in the incidence and prognosis are well known. Although men have a three- to four-fold greater risk of developing bladder cancer, women are presenting with higher stage disease and have worse outcome. Men are also more likely to ...
The majority of data support the theory that gender influences incidence and prognosis of urothelial and kidney cancers; men and women are different genetically and socially, making the consideration of gender a key factor in the clinical decision-making process. Thus, the inclusion of this variable...
Kidney, bladder, and prostate cancer diagnoses are increasing worldwide, partly due to population aging and expansion, but also rising age-specific rates, with disproportionate growth in developing countries. Obesity-related kidney cancer deaths are increasing, while smoking related deaths are decreasing...
Despite these challenges, significant progress is being made using modern proteomic methods to identify and characterize protein-based markers for urological cancers. The development of robust, easy-to-use clinical tests based on novel biomarkers has the potential to impact upon diagnosis, prognosis and...
Kidney cancer is a common urological tumour. Owing to its high prevalence and mortality rate, it is the third most malignant tumour of the urinary system, followed by prostate and bladder cancers. It exerts a high degree of malignancy, and most of the distant metastasis occurs at an early st...
BLADDER CANCER 8 likes SAVE SYMPTOM Bladder cancer is generally asymptomatic until advanced. For this reason it generally has a poor prognosis. Routine urine tests for occult blood may provide earlier detection. Avoid hair dyes, food dyes, environmental toxins, nitrates, coffee, and... KIDNEY IN...
Transitional cellcarcinoma:This type doesn’t start in the kidney itself, but in a place called the renal pelvis. This is where the ureters, tubes that carry urine to yourbladder, meet the kidney. Men are more likely to get kidney cancer than women. ...
whereas pathologic stage is based on the analysis of surgically removed tissue. Staging the cancer helps predict prognosis and survival. In general, cancers with higher T stage, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis have a worse prognosis and shorter survival rates, and these patients need ...
display when looking at them under the microscope. Other classifications, in decreasing order of prevalence, include chromophilic, chromo phobic, oncocytic, and collecting ductcancers. However, it does not appear that these various types of renal cell carcinoma differ in presentation or prognosis. ...
