ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical methods for reducing bladder cancer recurrence after surgical treatment for renal pelvic carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From October 1997 to December 2007, the data of 227 patients undergoing total nephroureterectomy for clinically localized transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with follow-up results were analyzed retrospectively, including 126 cases of male and 101 cases of female, and the age was 34 to 78 years old. There were 2 kinds of technique used in the dissection of bladder wall circumferentially around the ureteral orifice. Technique A was dissection along the ipsilateral ureter to the bladder wall. Technique B was dissection along the vas deferens to the bladder wall circumferentially around the ipsilateral ureteral orifice and division of the lateral vesical ligament to reach the seminal vesicle. Prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy included 3 method. Method 1 was intraoperative intravesical chemotherapy and then administrated once a week, 10 times in total. Method 2 was intraoperative intravesical chemotherapy and then administrated once a week from the 4(th) week after operation, 10 times in total. Method 3 was intravesical chemotherapy was given once a week from the 4(th) week after operation, 10 times in total. The time of follow-up was 1 to 10 years with regular cystoscopy. Chi-square test and Logistic regression were used to analyzed the recurrence rate of bladder cancer.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Recurrence rate of bladder cancer was 27.8% (63/227). The recurrence rates of bladder cancer in patients using technique A and B were 18.0% (7/39) and 12.5% (3/24), respectively (P < 0.05). The postoperative recurrence rates of bladder cancer in patients using 3 kinds of intravesical chemotherapy regimen were 17.9% (11/67), 20.8% (10/48) and 33.3% (17/51), respectively. There was significant difference between the recurrence rates of patients using method 1 and method 3 intravesical chemotherapy (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Complete removal of the bladder mucosa circumferentially around the ureteral orifice, administration of the intraoperative intravesical chemotherapy instillation and instillation once a week may be a useful approach to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer after operation for renal pelvic carcinoma.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical manifestation, biological behavior, diagnosis and treatment of the urothelial inverted papilloma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-two cases of urothelial inverted papilloma were analyzed retrospectively from January 1990 to August 2008. Of the 62 patients, 51 were men and 11 were women. The average age at presentation was 56.4 years old. Fifty-six cases were solitary tumors and 6 were multiple. The most common compliant was macroscopic hematuria. The tumor located at the ureter in 5 cases. Of these cases, 4 were treated by local excision, 1 by nephroureterectomy. One case of multiple ureteral inverted papilloma with coexistent bladder inverted papilloma was treated by total cystectomy. The tumor located at the bladder in 52 cases, with 44 treated by transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 6 by partial cystectomy, 2 by total cystectomy. Four cases had the tumor located at the urethra, with 1 treated by transurethral resection of tumor, 3 by tumorectomy.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The postoperative pathological diagnosis of all the 62 cases was inverted papilloma, synchronous urothelial carcinoma in 7. Follow-up data were available in 49 cases. Two cases had a recurrence at 7 months and 79 months, respectively. Three case of subsequent transitional cell carcinoma developed 18 months, 2 years and 6 years later, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Inverted urothelial papilloma is a kind of benign tumor. It should be differentiated from malignant urothelial tumors. Surgical operation is the main treatment choice. Cystoscopic surveillance and followup are necessary after the operation regularly.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the experience on diagnosis and treatment of multiple adrenal aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighteen cases of multiple adrenal APA were analyzed retrospectively, which were admitted from October 1992 to April 2006.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Adrenalectomy was performed for 4 cases of unilateral synchronous multiple APA, which were discovered with three adenomas by 3D-CT; bilateral tumor resection was performed for 6 cases of bilateral synchronous multiple APA. There were 8 cases of bilateral metachronous multiple APA, including 2 cases of ipsilateral recurrent adrenal APA after adrenal tumor removal, which underwent tumor resection. Another 6 cases were contralateral APA following adrenalectomy due to adrenal APA, and underwent tumor resection. After operation, the adrenal function seemed to be normal, and no recurrence had been found on follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Unilateral multiple synchronous APA require adrenalectomy. Tumor resection should be performed for bilateral or asynchronous APA, and it is very important to preserve healthy adrenal tissue as much as possible. 3D-CT has much value on diagnosis of small APA, unilateral multiple synchronous APA and ipsilateral recurrent adrenal APA.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of hereditary renal cell carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 11 patients with hereditary renal cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. Eight patients were male and 3 were female, age ranged from 32 to 67 (mean: age 48 years). Four cases were bilateral renal cell carcinoma, and 4 were multiple renal cell carcinoma. Two cases were diagnosed as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, 6 as familial clear cell renal cell cancer, and 3 as hereditary papillary renal carcinoma.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Ten patients performed nephron-sparing surgery and/or radical nephrectomy and 1 had no operation. The patients were followed up from 12 to 114 months. Tumor recurrence was observed in 4 patients, 1 patient died of tumor metastasis, and 2 died of other causes. Four patients survived free of tumor.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Hereditary renal carcinoma appears in the youth, and it is predominantly multiple and bilateral. Nephron-sparing surgery is the standard method of treatment for the patients.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship of protein kinase C-alpha (PKCalpha) expression/activation with tumor differentiation and resistance to chemotherapy drugs in superficial bladder carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Expression of PKCalpha was measured by Western-blot analysis in 76 samples including tumor and normal tissues, respectively. A human RT4 bladder cancer cell line stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-PKCalpha (RT4/PKCalpha) was established. The sensitivity of the RT4/PKCalpha and parental cells to adriamycin (ADM) was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The change of sensitivity of the RT4/PKCalpha to ADM were observed under the conditions of PKC activation and inhibition, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Total level of PKCalpha expression and the ratio of the amount of PKCalpha expression or PKC activity in membrane to that in cytosol (M/C) were all more higher in cancerous tissues than in normal tissues (P < 0.01); With the increase of tumor grade, the relative level of PKCalpha expression significantly increased in membrane (P < 0.01) and decreased in cytosol (P < 0.01), M/C of PKCalpha was significantly elevated (P < 0.01), and total relative level of PKCalpha expression significantly increased (P < 0.01). Thirty-eight cases recurred during the follow-up period in total seventy cases. Multivariate analysis showed that high M/C of PKCalpha was independent prognostic factor for tumor recurrence after standard ADM treatment in the 2-year follow-up (RR = 3.98, 95% CI 1.22-5.68, P = 0.03). Transfection of PKCalpha increased resistance of RT4 cells to ADM [resistance index (RI): 6.97, t = 3.24, P < 0.01]. PKCalpha activation further greatly promoted the resistance (RI: 148.11, t = 5.18, P < 0.001) while inhibition of PKCalpha did conversely (RI: 1.6, t = 1.29, P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The abnormal activation and expression level of PKCalpha closely correlate with both tumor grade and intrinsic resistance to ADM in patients with superficial bladder carcinoma.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the roles of cell adhesion, multidrug resistance and cell proliferation in short-term recurrent cases with superficial bladder cancer, and the prognostic value of the three indexes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemical staining for E-cad, P-gp and Ki-67 was performed on the tumors of 100 patients with stage T0-T1 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder who had been included in a retrospective research by follow-up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>E-cad and P-gp expression was positive in 51 (43.2%)and 17 (14.4%) of the tumors, respectively and mean proliferation index (PI) was 22.1%. The decrease in E-cad expression was accompanied with the increasing recurrent episodes (P < 0.05), while increase of P-gp expression and PI were accompanied with the increasing recurrence episodes (P < 0.05). There was significant difference according to E-cad, P-gp positivity and between T(1)G(3) patients and no-T(1)G(3) patients (P < 0.05). There was negative correlation of E-cad expression with P-gp expression and PI.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Minimum adhesion, strong drug resistance and maximum proliferation are the main factors that promote short-term recurrence of superficial bladder cancer and also the inherent reasons for easy recurrence and high malignancy of T(1)G(3) tumors. During this course, the three aspects may interact.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and the strategy for the diagnosis and treat- ment of bilateral testicular tumor.Methods The clinical data (including the signs and symptoms,imaging studies,tumor markers,treatment modalities and histopatbologic diagnoses) of 10 cases of bilateral testicular tumor from January 1980 to December 2004 were reviewed.Their age ranged from 19 to 58 years(mean,34 years).Of the 10 cases,8 with metachronous and 2 with synchronous testicular tumors were identified.The clinical stages at the primary and secondary tumor diagnosis were:5 cases of stageⅠ,3 of stageⅡ;and 6 cases of stageⅠ,1 of stageⅡ,and 1 of stageⅢ,respectively,in 8 metachronous tumor patients.Two syn- chronous tumor patients were both identified as stageⅠdisease.Histological examination showed the primary tumor (seminoma) in 4 cases and the secondary contralateral tumor (seminoma) in 3.Results Two syn- chronous tumor patients underwent bilateral radical orchiectomy simultaneously,and 8 underwent orchiectomy successively.Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was performed in 3 cases.Postoperatively,hypogonadism occurred in 10 patients,and 7 of them received androgen replacement therapy.Follow-up ranged from 9 month to 23 years with a mean of 10.5 years.Two patients died of the disease;2 had metastasis (1 of them was alive with metastasis);2 had recurrences and underwent local resection.Conclusions Metachronous bilateral testicular cancers are more common than synchronous bilateral testicular cancers.Seminoma was the most common histopathologic type.Testis-sparing surgery can be performed in selected cases.
