  2. Bladder cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_cancer

    Bladder cancer is much more common in men than women; around 1.1% of men and 0.27% of women develop bladder cancer. [2] This makes bladder cancer the sixth most common cancer in men, and the seventeenth in women. [57] When women are diagnosed with bladder cancer, they tend to have more advanced disease and consequently a poorer prognosis. [57]

  3. Recurrent cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_cancer

    In general, the severity of cancer increases with a shorter duration of time between initial treatment and its return. [3] Cancers with the highest recurrence rates include Glioblastoma with a recurrence rate of almost 100%, [5] Epithelial ovarian cancer with a recurrence rate of 85%, [6] and Bladder cancer with a recurrence rate of 30-54% [7]

  4. Transitional cell carcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_cell_carcinoma

    It accounts for 95% of bladder cancer cases and bladder cancer is in the top 10 most common malignancy disease in the world and is associated with approximately 200,000 deaths per year in the US. [2] [3] It is the second most common type of kidney cancer, but accounts for only five to 10 percent of all primary renal malignant tumors. [4]

  5. Adjuvant therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjuvant_therapy

    Since most early-stage endometrial cancer cases are diagnosed early and are typically very curable with surgery, adjuvant therapy is only given after surveillance and histological factors determine that a patient is at high risk for recurrence. Adjuvant pelvic radiation therapy has received scrutiny for its use in women under 60, as studies ...

  6. Cystectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystectomy

    For rates of major or minor complications, quality of life, time to recurrence and rates of cancerous cells left behind after surgery, there may be little to no difference between robotic and open surgery as treatment for bladder cancer in adults. [12]

  7. Invasive urothelial carcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasive_urothelial_carcinoma

    It is a type of cancer that develops in the urinary system: the kidney, urinary bladder, and accessory organs. Transitional cell carcinoma is the most common type of bladder cancer and cancer of the ureter, urethra, renal pelvis, the ureters, the bladder, and parts of the urethra and urachus.

  8. Cancer survival rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_survival_rates

    In males, researchers suggest that the overall reduction in cancer death rates is due in large part to a reduction in tobacco use over the last half century, estimating that the reduction in lung cancer caused by tobacco smoking accounts for about 40% of the overall reduction in cancer death rates in men and is responsible for preventing at least 146,000 lung cancer deaths in men during the ...

  9. TNM staging system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNM_staging_system

    G (1–4): the grade of the cancer cells (i.e. they are "low grade" if they appear similar to normal cells, and "high grade" if they appear poorly differentiated) S (0–3): elevation of serum tumor markers; R (0–2): the completeness of the operation (resection-boundaries free of cancer cells or not) Pn (0–1): invasion into adjunct nerves
