[Urogenital cancer]

Abstract

Treatment of urogenital cancer has made great progress due to early detection by various imaging techniques. Renal cancer is a good example of cancer that has been diagnosed in the earlier stages by the routine imaging methods. BRM therapy of interferons and interleukin II has been proved useful for renal cancer. It has been difficult to diagnose the wall invasion of the bladder cancer. However, ultrasonic imaging has made it possible to detect precisely the invasion into the vesical muscles and adventitia. Also, prostatic acid phosphatase and prostatic specific antigen have become more specific markers for prostatic cancer. Various treatments for this malignancy, including operative surgery, have made progress. The results of chemotherapy for testicular cancer have become fruitful by the use of cisplatin.
