Bladder Cancer Beth Ruyak/Host “For people suffering from bladder cancer , the standard approach has been to remove the bladder , which meant the patient had to wear a bag to collect urine. This method served many people well but seriously affected their quality of life. Now, new and less intrusive treatment options without the bag have become available.” RICHARD MANNING SPENDS MOST OF HIS DAYS IN HIS GARAGE WOODWORKING. IT’S A HOBBY THAT HAS BECOME THIS RETIRED PRINTER’S SECOND CAREER. BUT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN A SECOND CAREER WAS NOT FORESEEABLE IN RICHARD’S FUTURE. Richard Manning/ Bladder Cancer Survivor “I was passing stones. I had lower back pains and pains in my hip area, and they said I had rheumatism.” “THEY” WERE THE MANY DOCTORS RICHARD VISITED TRYING TO DISCOVER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM. FINALLY, ONE DOCTOR TOOK AN X-RAY AND FOUND OUT. Manning “And ...

Bladder Cancer Approximately 54,000 new cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed annually resulting in 12,000 deaths in the U.S. Men are affected three times more frequently than women, but it is rare in individuals who are younger than 40. Those demonstrating an increased risk are smokers and workers in the dye, chemical, and rubber industries. The tumors have a tendency to recur following removal and may become more invasive with each recurrence. The major prognostic features are the depth of invasion into the bladder wall (stage) and the degree of cellular differentiation of the tumor (grade). A deeper level of invasion means a higher tumor stage and a poorer prognosis. If the tumor is confined to the epithelial layer ...

CANCER COUNTDOWN – Urinary Bladder Cancer Urinary Bladder cancer is the fifth most common diagnosed cancer . Rates for urinary bladder cancer have declined over the years, however it’s approximately four times higher in men than in women and about two times higher in whites than in blacks. Deaths from bladder cancer decreased significantly during the 90’s for blacks however have remained fairly constant among whites. Signs and Symptoms Blood in the urine Increased frequency of urination Risk Factors Smoking is the greatest risk factor for bladder cancer . Smokers experience twice the risk and are estimated to play a part in 48% in men and 28% in women of bladder cancer deaths. People living in urban areas and workers in dye, rubber or leather industries also have higher risk. Treatment Surgeries by itself or in combination ...

The 1998 meeting of the South Central Section of the American Urological Association actually took place in 1999. The meeting, original- ly scheduled for Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, was can- celed because of Hurricane Mitch. It was then rescheduled for January at the same location in a different venue. Unfortunately, several ab- stracts had to be withdrawn because the speakers could not attend the rescheduled meeting. Despite this, Cancun proved to be a beautiful loca- tion. The main topics of the meeting were diagnosis and treatment of blad- der and prostate cancer , benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary dys- function, and continence and endo- urologic issues. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) The transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) procedure for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and clinical BPH ...

A study comparing various noninvasive methods of detecting bladder cancer in urine. Saad, A.; Hanbury, D. C.; McNicholas, T. A.; Boustead, G. B.; Morgan, S.; Woodman, A. C. JOURNAL NAME: BJU International : Volume 89, Issue 4, March 2002, PP. 369-73 CORPORATE AUTHOR- Department of Urology, Lister Hospital, Stevenage, and Cranfield BioMedical Centre, Institute of BioScience and Technology, Cranfield University at Silsoe, UK. Objectives To compare the nuclear matrix protein (NMP)-22 assay, bladder tumour specific antigen (BTAstat) test, telomerase activity (using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay, TRAP) and a haemoglobin dipstick test for their ability to replace voided urine cytology (VUC) for detecting bladder cancer . Patients and methods The study included 120 urological patients prospectively recruited and assessed before surgery. A single freshly voided ...

INTRODUCTION The process of cancer progression consists of multisteps, which can be rate limiting since a failure or an in- sufficiency at any of the steps aborts the process (1-3). The outcome of the process is dependent on both the intrinsic properties of the tumor cells and the re- sponses of the host. The steps or events required for the formation of tumor invasion and metastasis are the same in all tumors (Fig. 1). The major steps in tumor progression are as follows : 1) After the ini- tial transformation, tumor cells grow at the primary site. 2) Neovascularization must occur when the tumor mass forms 2 mm more in diameter (4). Several angiogenic factors play key roles to establish neovascularization (5-7). 3) Local invasion of the basement membrane and degradation of the stroma are necessary for migration from the primary site (8 -11). Matrix metalloproteinases ...

bladder cancer Arsenic Does Not Appear to be the Risk Factor for Bladder Cancer in the Absence of both Humic Acid and High Arsenic Levels (> 350 ug/l) Steven H. Lamm 1,2,3 and Manning Feinleib 3 1 Consultants in Epidemiology and Occupational Health, Inc. Washington, DC 2 Georgetown University School of Medicine 3 Johns Hopkins School of Public Health BACKGROUND : Since the 1980s, the US risk analyses for arsenic in drinking water have been based on observations from the Blackfoot-Disease endemic area of SW Taiwan where the artesian wells contained humic acids and high arsenic levels (350-2,000 ug/l) and the shallow wells lacked humic acid and had low arsenic levels (0-300 ug/l). Some villages had wells from both sources. Early studies analyzed risk by well source; Later studies analyzed only by mean ...

Breakthrough bladder cancer test: Physician, patient access stymied by Medicare This year about 60,000 people will be diagnosed with bladder cancer and about 12,400 people will die of this disease, the American Cancer Society estimates. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer among men and the eighth most common among women. Most people found to have bladder cancer are in their late 60s, according to the ACS, meaning they are covered under Medicare. A breakthrough diagnostic lab test, which was named the most innovative product of 1999 by Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry magazine, allows physicians to conveniently perform bladder cancer testing directly in their offices to monitor progression of the disease and quickly detect recurrence. Doctors also can prescribe the test for use at home by the patient. However, long Medicare delays in establishing ...

SCREENING AND MONITORING FOR BLADDER CANCER : REFINING THE USE OF NMP22 LEE E. PONSKY, SHASHIKALA SHARMA, LAKSHMI PANDRANGI, SUMITA KEDIA, DAVID NELSON, ASHOK AGARWAL AND CRAIG D. ZIPPE*,† From the Cleveland Clinic Urological Institute, Andrology-Oncology Research Laboratory and Biostatistics and Epidemiology, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio ABSTRACT Purpose: While detecting bladder cancer , bladder tumor markers demonstrate improved sen- sitivity compared with urinary cytology but the current limitation is the low specificity and positive predictive value, that is high false-positive rate. We examined the clinical categories of the false-positive results, established relative exclusion criteria, and recalculated the specificity and positive predictive value of this assay with these criteria. Materials and Methods: A total of 608 patients considered ...

Entering the unresolved debate between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer , epidemiologists analysed data from an Italian case-control study and concluded that even in populations that drink a lot (in this case, wine) there is no significant associ- ation between the two. It’s possible that con- founding factors such as smoking, coffee drinking, and occupation (allowed for in this analysis) may have given rise to earlier inconsistent results ( Journal of Clinical Epi- demiology 2002;55:637-41). Summer sunburn seems to be the norm among American teenagers despite high sunscreen use. With 72% of teenagers ex- periencing at least one sunburn during the summer, public health campaigns should probably be paying more attention to getting the message across about hat wearing, protective clothing, and avoiding peak exposure times in the war against skin cancer ...

4 C L E V E L A N D C L I N I C T A U S S I G C A N C E R C E N T E R 4 R ECENT ADVANCES by Cleveland Clinic investigators are bringing gene therapy for bladder cancer closer to human trials. William Larchian, M.D., of the Clinic’s Urological Institute, and colleagues are pioneers in the development of liposome- mediated immuno-gene therapy for bladder cancer in orthotopic mice. The limitations associated with con- ventional retroviral transfection led the Cleveland Clinic team to develop the novel method. “Conventional retroviral vector transfection is time-consuming, often results in a low expression of gene product and has certain safety concerns, all of which limit its potential as an agent for human gene therapy,” Dr. Larchian ...
