Prostate Cancer

Introduction Prostate cancer has the most pronounced racial disparities of all cancer types. Annual prostate cancer incidence in the US is 75% higher in Black men compared to White men (172.6 per 100,000 vs 99.9 per 100,000, respectively) and death rates are more than 2 times greater in the former group (37.9 per 100,000 vs 17.8 per 100,000, respectively). 1 While socioeconomic status (SES) and access to quality healthcare have been implicated as key contributors to the increased prostate cancer burden on Black men, these factors do not fully explain the noted disparities. According to the US census, Hispanic men were 1.7 times more likely than Black men and 3.2 times more likely than White males to be uninsured, 2 yet despite these notable differences in access to care, prostate cancer incidence and mortality among Hispanic men is less than half the rates of Black men (incidence: 85.3 per 100,000; mortality: 15.6 per 100,000). 1 Prostate cancer health disparities are likely th...

Papillary urothelial carcinoma (more commonly referred to as transitional cell cancer) is a type of bladder cancer. It begins in the urothelial cells located on the surface of the bladder's inner lining. Urothelial cells are found throughout the urinary tract. Papillary urothelial carcinomas have the appearance of fingerlike protrusions that grow from the bladder's inner lining toward its center. They can be invasive or noninvasive. The bladder is part of the urinary tract. It is a hollow organ located in the lower pelvis. The bladder's job is to store urine until you are ready to urinate. It has muscular walls that expand to hold urine and contract to release it. Urine exits the bladder through the urethra . This article will discuss the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of papillary urothelial carcinoma. It will also provide information about the prognosis for this condition.
