ABSTRACT
Background: Urologic cancers encompass a group of malignancies that affect the urinary system and reproductive organs in both men and women. Bladder cancer is categorized by abnormal growth of cells in the bladder lining and is the most prevalent urologic cancer. This section outlines the risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic methods, staging systems, and treatment options, including surgical interventions, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
Aim: This comprehensive overview aims to provide a concise summary of four common types of urologic cancers: bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Methods: The research employed a descriptive quantitative methodology, utilizing a comprehensive sampling approach. The study encompassed a population of 40 patients who had received chemotherapy for prostate, bladder, and testicular cancer at Services Hospital in Lahore. The data collection period spanned from October 2022 to October 2023. Kidney cancer arises when malignant cells form in the kidneys, and it represents one of the most common cancers among adults.
Results: A total of 40 participants took part in the study. Specifically, out of the respondents, 19 individuals (49.7%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer, while 10 individuals (24.9%) had bladder cancer. Additionally, 11 participants (27.5%) were identified as having testicular cancer. The comprehensive overview highlights various urologic cancers, just like bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Each cancer type is discussed, including its characteristics, risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic methods, staging, and treatment options. This overview provides valuable insights into these urologic cancers for a better understanding and management of these conditions.
Conclusion: Testicular cancer is relatively rare but predominantly affects young males. This section examines the etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic techniques, staging, and treatment options, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, for testicular cancer. Overall, this abstract provides a comprehensive overview of bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers, offering a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and individuals seeking a fundamental understanding of these urologic malignancies.
Keywords: Urologic Cancers, Bladder Cancer, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy.
