Genito-urinary cancers

Genitourinary cancers are cancers that affect the organs of the urinary system, in particular the bladder, prostate, kidneys, and ovary. They represent a significant proportion of cancers and are often caused by risk factors such as smoking, excessive consumption of phenacetin, long-term use of cyclophosphamide, chronic irritation or exposure to certain chemicals.

These types of cancer can present unique challenges due to their anatomical proximity and complex development mechanisms. Their origins may lie in genetic mutations, environmental exposures, or behavioral factors, but the exact understanding of these triggers often remains enigmatic.

Research into urogenital cancer aims to unravel the cellular and molecular processes underlying the malignant transformation of these tissues. Understanding the specific biological characteristics of each type of urogenital cancer is essential for developing appropriate prevention and treatment approaches.
