Urothelial and kidney cancers

چکیده
Urothelial cancers encompass carcinomas of the bladder, ureters, and renal pelvis; these cancers occur at a ratio of 50:3:1, respectively. Cancer of the urothelium is a multifocal process. Patients with cancer of the upper urinary tract have a 30% to 50% chance of developing cancer of the bladder at some time in their lives. On the other hand, patients with bladder cancer have a 2% to 3% chance of developing cancer of the upper urinary tract. The incidence of renal pelvis tumors is decreasing.

متن کاملImmunohistochemical Detection of Pancreatic Secretory Trypsin Inhibitor (PSTI) in Urothelial Cancer
Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), a specific trypsin inhibitor secreted by acinar cells of pancreas, also acts as a growth factor. PSTI in various cancers has been reported to be associated with tumor invasiveness and pathological malignancy; however, such studies in urological cancers have not yet been performed. We therefore examined the expression of PSTI in fresh frozen specime...
متن کاملCKD and the risk of incident cancer.
Previous studies report a higher risk of cancer in patients with ESRD, but the impact of less severe CKD on risk of cancer is uncertain. Our objective was to evaluate the association between level of kidney function and subsequent cancer risk. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 1,190,538 adults who were receiving care within a health care delivery system, had a measurement of kidney f...
متن کاملEndemic (Balkan) nephropathy is aristolochic acid nephropathy.
Endemic nephropathy is a syndrome that comprises two entities: chronic interstitial nephropathy and urothelial cell cancers predominantly of the upper urinary tract. The etiological agent for the disease is aristolochic acid, a compound found in the plants of Aristolochia spp. The development of urothelial cancers is characterized by the formation of aristolactam DNA adducts leading to mutation...
