Abstract
Urinary Bladder Carcinoma Pattern at Urology Minia University Hospital
Highlights
Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies occurring worldwide
Patients and Methods Study Design: Our study is a prospective clinical study conducted on 120 patients who attended to our outpatient clinic at Nephrology and Urology Minia University Hospital in the period from March 2020 to March 2021
Our study revealed that about 28 (77.78%) of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) mases were high grade tumors, 43 (55.12%) of Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) mases were high grade tumors and 4 (66.67%) of adenocarcinoma mases are high grade tumors and on the other hand, 35 (44.88%) of TCC were low grade tumor, 2 (33.3%) of adenocarcinoma were low grade tumors and 8 (22.22%) of SCC were low grade tumors (Table 2)
Summary
Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies occurring worldwide. Bladder cancer develops predominantly in males with a ratio male: female (3:1). Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is the predominant bladder tumor (>90%) of cases. Others may present with irritative symptoms such as dysuria, frequency or urgency. Symptoms of metastases such as bone or flank pain are rare. (Hodges SC 2017) (DeGEORGE et al, 2017). Treatment of bladder cancer is based on the tumor's clinical stage. Stage means how deep it is thought to have grown into the bladder wall and spread beyond the bladder. Other factors, such as the size of the tumor, grade and performance state. Treatment options are TUR and intra vesicle injection of BCG, mitomycin or chemotherapy for stage 0, for invasive bladder cancer not metastatic, radical cystectomy is the standard treatment, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
