Newest firstIntroduction Bladder cancer (BC) is rarely associated with common bile duct (CBD) obstruction. We report a case of BC with peritoneal invasion and rectal involvement complicated by bilateral ureteral and biliary obstruction. Case presentation A 77-year-old man presented with abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a bladder tumor with suspected muscle invasion, rectal obstruction, and bilateral hydronephrosis. Urothelial…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe U.S. has the highest health care expenditure globally. Examining long-term national and state-level trends, and benchmarking them against other health systems, can provide important insights for public health planning and policy development. AimThis study aimed to characterize temporal trends in the burden of bladder cancer, including prevalence, incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (…
Background Patients with spinal cord injury have a relatively high risk for bladder cancer and often complicated with bladder cancer in advanced stages, and the degree of aggressiveness of malignancy is high. Most of the literature is based on disease clinical features while, our study reviews the clinical characteristics and molecular mechanisms of spinal cord injury patients with bladder cancer, so that it might…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundBladder cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Despite its high incidence, public awareness of the condition remains low, and it has received less research attention compared to other common cancers. Over the past 80 years, patient outcomes and treatment strategies have remained largely unchanged, with cystoscopy being the primary method for detecting bladder cancer. This procedure,…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction With the legalization of cannabis in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world, a larger proportion of the population consumes cannabis. Several studies have demonstrated anti-tumor effects of components present in cannabis in different models. Unfortunately, little is known about the potential anti-tumoral effects of cannabinoids in bladder cancer and how cannabinoids could potentially synergize wi…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundBladder cancer (BC) is the most common cancer of the urinary tract worldwide with over 550,000 new cases each year, bladder cancer has drawn relatively limited research attention and healthcare interventions despite the escalating incidence and mortality rates, particularly in Africa. Historically, the clinical handling of bladder cancer remained largely unchanged for many years. However, novel research…
AbstractBackgroundLegislation of cannabis use has been approved in many European and North American countries. Its impact on urological cancers is unclear. This study was conducted to explore the association between cannabis use and the risk of urological cancers.MethodsWe identified 151,945 individuals with information on cannabis use in the UK Biobank from 2006 to 2010. Crude and age‐standardized incidence ratio…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Several studies have shown anti-tumor effects of components present in cannabis in different models. Unfortunately, little is known about the potential anti-tumoral effects of most compounds present in cannabis in bladder cancer and how these compounds could potentially positively or negatively impact the actions of chemotherapeutic agents. Our study aims to evaluate the effects of a compound found in…
Open article record in new tab ↗Due to the involvement of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in cancer onset and progression and the less studied connection between ECS and bladder cancer, here an evaluation of the ECS modifications associated with bladder cancer is reported. Urine samples were collected from healthy volunteers and patients with bladder cancer at different grades. Endocannabinoids (ECs) and N-acylethanolamides (NAEs) were quantifi…
