OBJECTIVE
Obesity is estimated to account for up to 20% of all cancer deaths. Mutations of TP53 are frequently correlated with tumor development and progression. We evaluated the effect of body mass index (BMI) and mutation status of tumor suppressor gene p53 (TP53) on patients with urinary bladder
Family risks for urinary tract cancers (excluding kidney cancers) are known, but less is known about whether rare urinary tract cancer subtypes are also familial and if urinary tract cancers share familial risk for other (discordant) cancers.To investigate Findings of excretory urography, the principal screening test for bladder tumors, do not accurately depict these tumors. In an attempt to assess the value of sonography in detecting bladder lesions, we used suprapubic sonography to examine 120 patients who presented with various lower urinary tract
BACKGROUND
Nutrition is the 3rd most important factor in surgery, following anesthesia and asepsis. Until now, it has been a poorly explored field of urology. The relationship between malnutrition and postoperative complications has been proven beyond doubt in general surgery, where 30% of patients
BACKGROUND
Spatial clustering of different diseases has received much less attention than single disease mapping. Besides chance or artifact, clustering of different cancers in a given area may depend on exposure to a shared risk factor or to multiple correlated factors (e.g. cigarette smoking and
Patients with psoriasis have an increased risk of cancer, which may be due to impaired immune surveillance, immune modulatory treatments, chronic inflammation and/or co-risk factors such as obesity. The increase in treatment-independent solid cancers, including urinary/bladder cancers,
UNASSIGNED
Urologists are frequently confronted with questions of urinary bladder cancer (UBC) patients about what they can do to improve their prognosis. Unfortunately, it is largely unknown which lifestyle factors can influence prognosis.
UNASSIGNED
To systematically review the available evidence
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), also referred to as urothelial carcinoma, is the most common form of urinary bladder cancer in dogs, affecting tens of thousands of dogs worldwide each year. Canine TCC is usually a high grade invasive cancer. Problems associated with TCC include urinary tract
