Renal Cancer Diagnosed by Noninvasive Methods from Body Fluids by Quantitative Methylation-Specific PCR(qMSP).

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the 9th most common malignancy in the world, having an incidence peak in the range of 60 to 70 years of age. Most of these malignancies are detected in an advanced stage. Thus, there is an urgent need for developing new tools composed of biomarkers.

Molecular Diagnostic of Prostate Cancer From Body Fluids Using Methylation-Specific PCR (MS-PCR) Method.

Background: Worldwide prostate cancer (PCa) represents the 2nd leading cause of cancer related deaths among men. Currently, the screening for early detection of PCa is based on determination of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. But this biomarker presents some disadvantages related to its specificity and sensitivity.

Left crossed fused renal ectopia L-shaped kidney type, with double nutcracker syndrome (anterior and posterior).

Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is the second most common fusion anomalies (FAs) of the kidneys after horseshoe kidney. Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) results from one kidney crossing over to the opposite side and subsequent fusion of the parenchyma of the two kidneys. We report, by multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography, an extremely rare case of a left CFRE (L-shaped kidney type), consisting of multiple renal arteries (one main renal artery for the upper renal parenchyma, and three renal arteries (one main and two additional) for the lower renal parenchyma) and two left renal veins, which produced a double nutcracker syndrome (both anterior and posterior).

Right lump kidney with varied vasculature and urinary system revealed by multidetector computed tomographic (MDCT) angiography.

Renal ectopia also known as ectopic kidney is an embryological renal anomaly characterised by abnormal anatomical location of one or both of the kidneys. This can occur in various forms such as (1) crossed fused renal ectopia, (2) ectopic thoracic kidney and (3) pelvic kidneys. The lump kidney is one of the six variations of crossed fused ectopic kidney.
