Cultured Milk May Cut Bladder Cancer Risk
Consuming cultured milk products may decrease the risk of bladder cancer, according to Swedish researchers.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
NBI Detects More Bladder Ca Recurrences
Narrow-band imaging (NBI) cystoscopy improves detection of recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors over standard white-light imaging (WLI) cystoscopy, according to a report in BJU International (2008; published online ahead of print).
Urine Test Detects Upper Tract TCC
With upper tract transitional cell carcinoma (UTTCC), vigilance is the watchword. Detecting this cancer earlier may directly impact patient survival. According to the American Cancer Society, 54,390 new cases and 14,100 deaths in the United States will occur during 2008.
UroVysion Not a Replacement for Cystoscopy, Study Finds
The UroVysion (UV) assay, which can diagnose urothelial cancer, cannot replace cystoscopy for monitoring patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. According to researchers in Sweden, the assay may be useful as a supplement to traditional measures for detecting carcinoma in situ (CIS).
Water Intake May Diminish Likelihood of Bladder Cancer
Water intake may be associated with a slightly reduced risk of bladder cancer, especially in women, a study suggests.
Autoantibodies For Bladder Ca Diagnosis
SAN DIEGO—Serum autoantibody profiling may provide a novel non-invasive diagnostic tool for bladder cancer, according to researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center in Madrid.
EBRT for Prostate Cancer Hikes Risk of Secondary Cancers
ORLANDO, Fla.—External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) increases the risk of secondary malignancies relative to radical prostatectomy in men with localized prostate cancer, data show.
Acrylamide May Hike Renal Cell Cancer Risk
Dietary intake of acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen, may be associated with an increased risk of renal cell cancer, according to a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2008;87:1428-1438).
Intravesical Gemcitabine For Superficial Bladder Cancer
SAN FRANCISCO—Intravesical gemcitabine may be a safe and effective treatment for superficial bladder cancer, data suggest.
Statins Reduce Bladder Cancer Progression Risk
SAN FRANCISCO—Statin use may decrease the likelihood that superficial bladder cancer will progress to muscle-invasive disease requiring cystectomy, according to researchers at the University Hospital of Montreal in Canada.
