BACKGROUND No standard chemotherapy regimen for advanced urothelial cancer has been established, except for cisplatin-based regimens. We report the case of a patient with double primary cancer, urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract and colorectal cancer, who underwent oxaliplatin-based chemotherapies. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital with the di...

During the past two decades, several new hereditary renal cancers have been discovered but are not yet widely known. Hereditary renal cancer syndromes can lead to multiple bilateral kidney tumors that occur at a younger age than that at which the nonhereditary renal cancers occur. The aim of our work is to review the features of hereditary renal cancers, the basic principles of genetic relevant...

Transitional cell cancer (TCC) in the renal pelvis is usually treated by nephro-ureterectomy. In functional or anatomical singular renal units, consecutive chronic hemodialysis will be needed. We present a patient treated by image-guided robotic radiosurgery for definitive tumor control of a T2G3 recurrent transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis in a singular renal unit after nephro-ureter...

The association of renal cancer and renal tuberculosis is uncommon. While the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma in a tuberculous kidney is a classical finding, the discovery of tuberculous lesions after nephrectomy for cancer is exceptional. We report the case of a female patient aged 60 who had a partial nephrectomy for a 5 cm exophytic kidney tumor. Pathological examination conclud...

Abstract Aim Renal decompression following ureteral obstruction is a common urological emergency. Malignant patients often have poor life-expectancy, and the impact of on survival questionable [1]. We herein review outcomes management in single unit. Method Records nephrostomy requests Ysbyty Gwynedd between January 2017 December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Information patient demograph...

End-stage renal disease is a chronic and progressive pathology associated with several comorbidities, particularly diabetes. Indeed, diabetes is the first cause of end-stage renal disease and, in France, 42% of incident patients had diabetes in 2012. In the general population, diabetes is associated with increased cancer risk. The aim of this study was to examine the association between risk of...

We report the case of 58-year-old gentleman with pancreatic masses, possibly of neuroendocrine origin, with the history of renal carcinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism and pituitary cyst. Histological analysis after pancreatectomy revealed metastases from renal cancer. This unusual case illustrates the challenging differential diagnosis between multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome and me...

Acute renal failure (ARF) in cancer patients is a dreadful complication that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Moreover, ARF may preclude optimal cancer treatment by requiring a decrease in chemotherapy dosage or by contraindicating potentially curative treatment. The pathways leading to ARF in cancer patients are common to the development of ARF in other conditions. However, ARF may ...

INTRODUCTION Many cancers are associated with inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction, but very few cancers have the ability to propagate within the lumen of the renal vein or the IVC. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common of these cancers. Renal cancer with IVC extension has a high rate of recurrence and a low five year survival rate. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old Caucasian woman previously...
