Aim: To evaluate the prognostic role of the p53- Urothelical cell carcinoma (UCC) of the bladder is the second upstream inhibitors MDM2, MDM4 and its splice variant most common urogenital neoplasm worldwide (1). Whereas MDM4-S in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for non-muscle invasive UCC can be well treated and controlled muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Materials and by endoscopic resection, for MIBC, which represents 30% of Methods: mRNA Expression levels of MDM2, MDM4 and tumor incidence, radical cystectomy (RC) remains the only MDM4-S were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase curative option. However, MIBC progresses frequently to a chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in 75 RC samples. Logistic life-threatening metastatic disease with limited therapeutic regression analyses identified predictors of recurrence-free options (2). Standard clinical prognosis parameters in bladder (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results: High cancer such as stage, grade or patient’s age, have limitations expression was found in 42% (MDM2), 27% (MDMD4) and in assessing individual patient’s prognosis and response to 91% (MDM4-S) of tumor specimens.

  • Incidence of Urogenital Neoplasms in India
    Published online: 2021-06-17 Original Article Incidence of Urogenital Neoplasms in India Abstract Satyanarayana Objective: To study and compare the national and regional incidences and risk of developing Labani, of neoplasms of individual urogenital sites using 2012 – 2014 reports from the National Cancer Dishank Rawat, Registry Programme (NCRP) data. Materials and Methods: A number of incident cases, age- adjusted rates (AARs), and cumulative risk (0 – 64 years) pertaining to urogenital neoplasms, along Smita Asthana with the ICD-10 codes, were extracted. Data on indicators, namely number of incident cases, AARs Division of Epidemiology and one in a number of persons develop cancer were summarized for both the sexes in each of the and Biostatistics, Institute of Cytology and Preventive cancer registries and presented region-wise in the form of ranges. The proportion of all Results: Oncology, Indian Council of urogenital neoplasms in comparison to all cancers was 12.51% in women and 5.93% in men. Risk of Medical Research, Noida, development of urogenital cancers for women was maximum (1 in 50) in the North-eastern region, Uttar Pradesh, India followed by Rural West, South, and North. For men, the risk of developing neoplasms of urogenital sites was highest (1 in 250). For the neoplasms of the renal pelvis and ureter, both the incidence and risk were quite low for all genders across all the regions. Cervical neoplasms had the highest incidence (4.91 – 23.07) among female genital neoplasms, while prostate had the highest incidence (0.82 – 12.39) among male genital neoplasms. Conclusion: Making people aware of urogenital neoplasms and their risk factors are important for the public health awareness point of view.

  • Male Urogenital Cancers in Suriname 199
    Academic Journal of Suriname 2011, 2, 198-204 Biomedicine Full-length paper The incidence of malignancies of the male urogenital system in the Republic of Suriname from 1980 through 2004 Dennis R.A. Mans 1, Santosh S. Sardjoe 1, Martinus A. Vrede 2 1Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Anton de Kom University of Suriname, Paramaribo, Suriname; 2Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Anton de Kom University of Suriname, Paramaribo, Suriname Abstract The worldwide occurrence of male urogenital malignancies (cancers of prostate, penis, and testes, as well as those of kidneys and urinary bladder of men) varies from exceedingly rare to very common. In this study, incidence rates of these neoplasms in the Republic of Suriname between 1980 and 2004 have been assessed and compared with international data. Patient information was obtained from the Pathologic Anatomy Laboratory, population data from the General Bureau of Statistics. Sex-specific rates were calculated for cancer overall and for all anatomical sites, and stratified according to age groups 0 to 19, 20 to 49, and 50+ years, as well as the largest ethnic groups, viz. Hindustani, Creole, and Javanese. From these data, average yearly numbers and average rates per 100,000 men per year were calculated and expressed as means ± SDs. There were nearly 900 male urogenital malignancies in the period covered by this study, which corresponded to an overall rate of approximately 17. The most common urogenital neoplasm by far was prostatic cancer, occurring in more than three- quarters of cases and at a rate of about 13. Kidney, urinary bladder, penile, and testicular cancer were seen at rates lower than 2.

  • Profiling Analysis Reveals the Crucial Role of the Endogenous Peptides
    OncoTargets and Therapy Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH ProfilingAnalysis Reveals the Crucial Role of the Endogenous Peptides in Bladder Cancer Progression This article was published in the following Dove Press journal: OncoTargets and Therapy Weijian Li,1,* Yang Background: Peptide drugs provide promising regimes in bladder cancer. In order to Zhang,1,2,* Youjian Li,1,3,* identify potential bioactive peptides involved in bladder cancer, we performed the present Yuepeng Cao,4 Jun Zhou,1 study. Zhongxu Sun,1 Wanke Wu,5 Methods: Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry assay was used to compare the endo­ Xiaofang Tan,5 Yang Shao,5 genous peptides between bladder cancer and normal control. The potential biological func­ tions of these dysregulated peptides are assessed by GO analysis and KEGG pathway Kaipeng Xie,5,6 Xiang Yan1,2 analysis of their precursors. The SMART and UniProt databases are used to identify the 1 Department of Nephrology and Urology, The sequences of the dysregulated peptides located in the functional domains. The Open Targets Children’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center Platform database was used to investigate the precursors related to metabolic diseases. for Child Health, Hangzhou, People’s Republic Results: A total of 9 up-regulated peptides and 110 down-regulated peptides in bladder of China; 2Department of Urology, Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing cancer compared with normal control were identified (fold change > 1.2, P < 0.05). The MW University, Institute of Urology, Nanjing University, Nanjing, People’s Republic of China; of these dysregulated peptides ranged from 500 Da to 2500 Da and the MW of all identified 3Department of Urology Surgery, The People's peptides was below 3500 Da.
