The epidemiology of kidney cancer is evolving with a net increase in the incidence of renal tumors, globally, and in young people in particular.

To evaluate the incidence and clinical and pathological characteristics of sporadic renal tumors in young subjects and their risk factors.

Cancer during young adulthood can limit the extent to which one adopts an adult self-image. However, the relationship of adult self-image to cancer-related adjustment remains unexplored. The current study examines relationships of adult self-image and social/emotional well-being and job-related problems in young testicular cancer survivors.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common forms of malignancies involving the urinary system and multiple risk factors have been associated with its etiology. The most common of which include cigarette smoking and various occupational or chemical exposures.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is typically found in the older age group between 50 and 70 years of age. However, diagnosis of renal cancer is increasing more rapidly in patients less than 40 years if age compared to older age patients.

Coping through emotional processing (EP) with cancer-related circumstances can take several forms, including methods thought to be constructive (e.g., planning, meaning making) and unconstructive (e.

Testicular cancer diagnosis and treatment, especially given its threat to sexuality and reproductive health, can be distressing in the formative period of young adulthood and the majority of young survivors experience impairing, distressing, and modifiable adverse outcomes that can persist long after medical treatment.

To compare the effects of two border-age groups: young adults and octogenarians on survival of sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

We reviewed the records of 1619 patients that underwent radical or partial nephrectomy due to RCC between January 2004 and December 2018 in two high-volume centers.
