Management of the urethra in urothelial bladder cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The standard of care in the management of invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder is radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Although uncommon, recurrence of disease in the retained urethra following cystectomy carries a poor prognosis. The need for assessment of risk of recurrence is greater now than ever with wider adoption of orthotopic bladder substitution. This review will address the contemporary management of the urethra following cystectomy for urothelial cancer.

Editorial Concerning “Impact of the Level of Urothelial Carcinoma Involvement of the Prostate on Survival after Radical Cystectomy”
Prostatic involvement by urothelial carcinoma in patients with bladder cancer is a frequent finding and their prognostic significance and implication for the management of these patients has been the subject of study for many years. In one of the largest series of radical cystoprostatectomy with 995 patients with bladder cancer, Moschini M et al have shown that prostatic involvement by urotheli...
متن کاملHigh-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma of Bladder Transforming to Micropapillary Variant on Follow-Up
Micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder is an aggressive tumour, comprising 0.6-6% of all UC. It generally presents with high-grade and stage, and has been reported as having a worse prognosis when compared to traditional UC. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. The patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinom...

متن کاملA Case Report of an Inverted Papilloma of the Prostatic Urethra and a Synchronous Low-Grade Papillary Carcinoma of the Bladder
Inverted urothelial papilloma is a rare benign tumour and represents one of the urothelial lesions with inverted morphology. Accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other inverted lesions is important because its proper clinical management and expected clinical outcomes are distinctly different. Here we describe a case of a large inverted urothelial papilloma of the prostatic urethra and a ...
متن کاملDysregulated Expression of Long Intergenic Non-coding RNAs (LincRNAs) in Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma
Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) has been introduced as key regulators of diverse biological processes, including transcription, chromatin organization, cell growth and tumorigenesis. With regard to the potential role of lincRNAs in cancer development, one may postulate that differential expression of lincRNAs could be employed as a tool in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted ther...
