bladder cancer is the most frequent genitourinary malignancy in iran. environmental and genetic factors are the two factors linked with bladder cancer expansion. the aim of this study was to investigate the role of pten gene and environmental risk factors on the progression and prognosis of bladder cancer.we evaluated 55 tumor specimens and 66 bladder mucosa samples of non-cancerous patients be...

background: bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world with considerably higher frequency among men than women. treatment of the disease is possible according to early diagnosis, so identifying useful markers is very important. lsinct5 (long stress-induced non-coding transcript 5) is a stress-regulated lncrna involved in response to oxidative stress, also in cell proliferatio...

background and aims: immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. by the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. on the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...

background: in this study, specific measures of extended nursing services and its values on patients with bladder cancer after endoscopic bladder electrosection were examined. methods:   sixty-six patients diagnosed with bladder cancer in laiwu people's hospital(no. 001, xueyehu street, changshao road, laiwu, shandong, china) between february 2012 and february 2014, and underwent endoscopic bla...

Background and aims: Bladder cancer is the most common tumor of the urinary tract and the ninth cancer in terms of incidence in both sexes in the world. Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer among men in Iran. The most important risk factors which attribute to the incidence of bladder cancer are tobacco usage, exposure to industrial materials, and chronic infection by Schistsoma. This...

Objective(s):Genome-wide association studies have identified a number of genetic variants of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), cleft lip and palate transmembrane1-like (CLPTM1L) associated with the risk of bladder cancer. Rs401681 polymorphism in TERT-CLPTM1L was of special interest for bladder cancer risk, whereas the results were inconclusive. Materials and Methods:Publications illustr...

enterovesical fistula is an abnormal communication between the bladder and the intestine. the accurate localization of leakage is important for accurate treatment planning. some imaging techniques can not demonstrate the fistula; therefore, choosing the appropriate imaging technique is necessary. ct enterography (cte) is a new technique for evaluation of the small bowel and the entire abdomen. ...

Introduction: Bladder cancer is regarded as the most common urinary malignancy in the world. As other cancers, its incidence has increased in recent years. Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between smoking and opium and bladder cancer in residents of Yazd province. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed on 200 patients with ...

background: most patients with superficial bladder cancer whoundergo transurethral resection of bladder tumor show recurrenceof the disease. so far, there have been numerous studies on waysto decrease bladder cancer recurrence, including the intake ofvitamins and antioxidants. the goal of this study was to investigatethe effect of vitamin e on the recurrence of non‑invasive bladdercancer.method...
