The Journal of Urology

Our medical research library holds 14 studies published in The Journal of Urology (1958–2006). Each entry links to the study's record on PubMed and, where there is one, to the publisher's page and a free full text. 8 have an abstract, the authors' own summary as PubMed records it: open "Abstract" to read it. For 2 studies PubMed has no abstract for, we give the abstract printed in the article or, where there is none, a summary we wrote from it, each labeled as such.

• The epidemiology of renal cell carcinoma. L. Lipworth, R.E. Tarone, J.K. McLaughlin. 2006;176(6 Pt 1):2353-8. Review PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Purpose: We identified and examined risk factors for renal cell cancer, some of which may explain in part the trends of steadily increasing incidence rates, particularly in black Americans.

  Materials And Methods: Epidemiological studies were identified through a MEDLINE(R) search of the literature through February 2006. A qualitative summary of the results of individual studies is presented.

  Results: Cigarette smoking and obesity are the most consistently established causal risk factors, accounting for about 20% and 30% of renal cell cancers, respectively. Hypertension appears to independently influence renal cell cancer risk. Neither acetaminophen nor other analgesics have been convincingly linked with renal cell cancer. With respect to diet a general protective effect of fruit and vegetable consumption is the only consistently reported finding. For occupational factors the weight of the evidence provides no consistent support for the hypotheses that renal cell cancer may be caused by asbestos, gasoline or trichloroethylene exposure. Self-reported family history is associated with 2 to 3-fold increases in risk and the major inherited forms of renal cell cancer together account for about 2% of this malignancy.

  Conclusions: A further reduction in cigarette smoking, and a decrease in the rates of obesity and hypertension would likely moderate the increasing incidence of renal cell cancer. Epidemiological studies, including evaluation of gene-environment interactions, are needed to specifically identify reasons for the increasing incidence, particularly for assessing the roles of obesity and hypertension. Special attention should be focused on black Americans since their incidence rate recently increased to significantly surpass that in white Americans.

1990s

• Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in malignant mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis testis. J.J. Smith, M.J. Malone, J. Geffin, et al. 1990;144(5):1242-3. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  A case of metastatic mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis in a 57-year-old man is reported. Clinicopathological findings and treatment options are reviewed.

1980s

• Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder in children. S.R. Nold, W.J. Terry, F.R. Cerniglia, et al. 1989;142(6):1545-7. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Nephrogenic adenoma is an uncommon entity, particularly in children. This benign lesion is believed to represent urothelial transformation in response to trauma or inflammation. Current treatment is local resection with fulguration of the base of the lesion, long-term antimicrobial therapy and periodic cystoscopy. Our 2 cases support not only the urothelial transformation theory but raise the possibility that immunosuppression may be a contributing factor in these lesions.

• Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: a case report. S. Prescott, R.E. Taylor, G. Sclare, et al. 1988;140(3):623-4. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  We report a case of malignant mesothelioma of the testicular tunica vaginalis. A preceding hydrocele showed mesothelial hyperplasia of its lining. The tumor was treated surgically as well as with a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy but it progressed, resulting in death within 21 months from the diagnosis. The relationship of the tumor to mesothelial hyperplasia and to previous exposure to asbestos is discussed.

• Suprarenal occurrence of an adenomatoid tumor. C.P. Evans, J.A. Vaccaro, B.G. Storrs, et al. 1988;139(2):348-9. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Adenomatoid tumors are rare, benign mesotheliomas that usually are associated with genito-urinary tract. The suprarenal occurrence of this tumor is uncommon. We present such a case and review the origin of the adenomatoid tumor.

• Mesothelioma of the testicle in a child. N. Stein, D. Henkes. 1986;135(4):794. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  A case of paratesticular mesothelioma in a child is presented. This is a rare benign tumor in childhood.

• Paratesticular mesotheliomas. R.E. McDonald, A.L. Sago, D.E. Novicki, et al. 1983;130(2):360-1. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Paratesticular mesotheliomas are uncommon tumors. We report 2 such cases and discuss their clinical and pathological findings.

• Treatment of malignant tumors of the spermatic cord: a study of 10 cases and a review of the literature. P.H. Blitzer, D.E. Dosoretz, K.H. Proppe, et al. 1981;126(5):611-4. PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Ten patients with sarcoma of the spermatic cord were treated at our hospital between 1940 and 1977. Although there are 191 reported cases in the literature controversy remains concerning optimal treatment. In our series of 10 patients 5 of 7 (71 per cent) followed for more than 5 years postoperatively have suffered local recurrence. Thus, we believe that this treatment is inadequate and recommend postoperative radiation therapy to the scrotum and pelvis. Of our patients 2 suffered recurrence in the retroperitoneal lymphatics and we favor dissection of these nodes as part of the initial treatment.

• Tumors of the spermatic cord: a review of the literature and a report of a case of lymphangioma. A.A. el-Badawi, M.M. al-Ghorab. 1965;94(4):445-50. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  A case of cystic lymphangioma of the spermatic cord, the ninth on record, is described. The lesion was suspected from the clinical examination and did not recur after surgical removal. An attempt has been made to totalize accurately the number of cases of spermatic cord tumor that have been reported. Our case report brings the total number to 387: 222 benign tumors, 125 malignant tumors, 32 miscellaneous tumors and tumors of uncertain origin, and 8 unclassified tumors. A nominative list of all the reported cases is appended.
