Urogenital & Urinary System Cancers
The cervix contains two types of cells and when cancer arises from squamous cells within the cervix it is cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The endocervix is located just above the body of the cervix and contains glandular cells. When cancer begins here it is called endocervical adenocarcinoma. Here is the latest research on these two types of cancers.
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer due to mutations in the brca1 and brca2 genes is the most common cause of hereditary forms of both breast and ovarian cancer. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to these cancers.
Kidney or renal carcinoma is a malignant tumor that start in the kidney. Renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma are the two most common types of kidney cancer. Several factors, both genetic and environmental, have been implicated in this cancer. Here is the latest research.
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that modulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level, playing a crucial role in diseases such as prostate cancer. Discover the latest research on MicroRNAs in prostate cancer.
Ovarian cancers, benign or malignant, originate in cells of the ovaries. They are classified based on their tissue or origin, which includes the totipotent germ cells, epithelium, and the stromal endocrine cells. Here is the latest research.
Penile cancer is tumor or cancer cells that occur on or within the penis. It is a rare form of cancer that is found in males, particularly in North America. Discover the latest research on penile neoplasms here.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Age, race, family history, and obesity are factors associated with increased prostate cancer risk. Here is the latest research on prostate adenocarcinoma.
Prostate stem cells are important for the development, maturation and function of the prostate. They can give rise to three types of prostate epithelial cells and have been implicated in both benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Here is the latest research on prostate stem cells.
Renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, originates in the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule. Both genetic and lifestyle factors have been implicated with increased risk of developing this cancer. Here is the latest research on renal cell carcinoma.
Majority of testicular cancers originate in germ cells. Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common solid tumors in adolescent and young men. Here is the latest research on factors that influence this cancer and its management.
Urinary Bladder Neoplasms are the most common urinary system malignancy. Signs and symptoms of bladder cancer include hematuria, pelvic pain, and painful urination. Discover the latest research on bladder cancer here.
Cervical dysplasia, also known as vertical intraepithelial neoplasia, is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal cell growth on the surface lining of the cervix. Here is the latest research.
Uterine cancers are when tumor or cancer cells that occur in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. They can either be malignant or benign neoplasms and there are two major types of uterine cancers, adenocarcinoma or sarcomas. Here is the latest research on uterine neoplasms.
Tumor and cancer cells of the vagina. There are two main types of vaginal cancers squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of vaginal cancer and adenocarcinoma is much rarer. Discover the latest research on vaginal neoplasms here.
