Gender Articles

It is well-documented that obesity participated in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Leptin is closely associated with obesity. This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between leptin level and RCC susceptibility and progression.

To describe the coping strategies and help-seeking behaviors of women and men with urinary incontinence (UI).

In cross-sectional study, 156 women and 106 men Turkish with UI were interviewed using a questionnaire covering 29 questions.

To evaluate whether baseline symptoms and outcomes are influenced by gender in a matched cohort undergoing neuromodulation.

Patients in our prospective neuromodulation database that had a tined lead placed were reviewed.

While men are at a considerable higher risk of developing urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB), women present with more advanced disease stages and seem to experience unfavorable outcomes. Evaluating specific differences in the UCB incidence and outcomes between both genders in the non-muscle invasive, muscle-invasive or locally advanced and metastatic setting, as well as determining the underlying causes of disease, may allow optimizing treatment and improving the quality of urological care among both genders.

The incidence of bladder cancer is three to four times greater in men than in women. However, women are diagnosed with more advanced disease at presentation and have less favorable outcomes after treatment.

Data on the impact of gender on mortality after radical cystectomy is conflicting. We investigated a large single center sample with long-term follow-up in order to determine the relationship between gender and outcome.

To characterize the current gender and subspecialty of those holding academic departmental administrative and educational leadership roles in urology.

We conducted a cross-sectional observational study of U.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is underdiagnosed in females due to different clinical presentation. We aimed to determine the effect of gender on clinical and polysomnographic features and identify predictors of OSA in women.

To examine associations between urologic subspecialization, surgeon gender and practice patterns among certifying urologists over the last 13 years.

Demographic data of certifying and recertifying urologists (2004 to 2015) was obtained from the American Board of Urology (ABU).

Recently, there have been some reports on preoperative body mass index (BMI) and total cholesterol (TC) as a prognostic predictor for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) but the topic is controversial and still poorly understood.

OBJECTIVE - The aim of this investigation was to describe tumour characteristics, treatments and survival in patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) in a national population-based cohort, with special reference to gender-related differences.

Bladder cancer incurs a higher lifetime treatment cost than other cancers due to frequent recurrence of non-invasive disease. Improved prognostic biomarkers and localized therapy are needed for this large patient group.

The relationship between obesity and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been widely investigated. However, the effect of estrogen on this relationship in female RCC patients has not been evaluated. We conducted a case-control study to investigate the role of estrogen as a potential modifier of the association between obesity and RCC risk in Chinese women.

To investigate the impact of sex on the prognosis of bladder cancer in Japan.

In total, 18 728 patients diagnosed as having bladder cancer from 1993 to 2006 were registered in population-based cancer registries of six prefectures in Japan.

Kidney stones are a source of significant morbidity and have been shown to negatively impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to understand the association between HRQoL, socioeconomic status (SES), and race among patients with kidney stones.

Gender, possibly due to the influence of gonadal hormones, is presumed to play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), but no studies have evaluated whether male infertility is associated with MS.

Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is the second most common renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that can be further subdivided into type 1 (PRCC1) and type 2 (PRCC2) RCCs based on histological and genetic features.

A cancer diagnosis is often associated with loss of agency and control that can adversely affect well-being. Patients may try to regain control through dietary change aimed at preventing progression and/or recurrence.

Females have less incidence/prevalence of kidney stone disease than males. Estrogen thus may serve as the protective factor but with unclear mechanism. This study explored cellular mechanism underlying such stone preventive mechanism of estrogen.

Cancer patients have to cope with anxieties -concerning their prognosis, potential recurrence/progression, and treatment-associated sequelae. Stress-related psychosocial factors influence survival and disease-related mortality in cancer patients.

Differences in the epidemiology, diagnosis and outcomes according to gender in patients diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has been widely reported. In this article we present gender-specific differences in NMIBC in terms of epidemiology, risk factors, first clinical presentation, management and clinical outcomes based on systematically review evidence of existing literature.

Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC), also called transitional cell cancer, occurs significantly more often in males than in females. Essential for the prognosis of recovery is depth of infiltration (muscle-invasive or non-muscle invasive) and tumor-differentiation at initial diagnosis.

Although the association between social context and health has been demonstrated previously, much less is known about network interactions by gender, race/ethnicity, and sociodemographic characteristics.

There is a perception within urology that female urologists encounter gender-based role assignments and are often "pigeonholed" into caring for more female patients and female-specific urologic issues than their male colleagues.

The aim of this investigation was to study differences between male and female patients with stage T1 urinary bladder cancer (UBC) regarding intravesical instillation therapy, second resection and survival.

Nowadays, urinary bladder cancer represents a major health problem, due to very high medical and social costs. This disease affects mainly the elderly. We performed a study on 1073 patients admitted to the Urology Clinic within the Emergency Clinical Hospital of Craiova, between 2013-2015 with bladder cancer.
