Bladder Tumors:
Molecular Aspects and Clinical Management
Article
Hyaluronic acid (HA) promotes cancer metastasis; however, the currently approved treatments do not target HA. Metastatic renal carcinoma (mRCC) is an incurable disease. Sorafenib (SF) is a modestly effective a...
Article
The 5-year survival rate of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is <12% due to treatment failure. Therapeutic strategies that overcome resistance to modestly effective drugs for mRCC, such as ...
Article
Molecular markers of clinical outcome may aid in designing targeted treatments for bladder cancer. However, only a few bladder cancer biomarkers have been examined as therapeutic targets.

Age has been linked to outcome in renal cancer patients, but mainly in North American cohorts. In this study, we hypothesized that age is correlated with metastasis and cancer-specific survival in a German coh...

Bladder cancer is primarily a “carcinogenesis driven” cancer. Exposure to carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), aromatic amines (AA), and nitrosamines through cigarette smoking, occupatio...

Poor efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs against metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer (CaP) drives patients to try "alternative medicine". The antitumor activity of one such agent, "BIRM" ...
