Inverted growth of transitional cell carcinoma in the ureter is reported. A 71-year-old female visited us for right flank pain and gross hematuria. Hematuria from the right ureteral orifice was found by cystoscopy.

[The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunostaining in renal pelvic and ureteral cancers and its prognostic value].

The expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was analyzed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded materials of 20 primary renal pelvic and ureteral cancers. The relation between PCNA positive rate and clinical pathological stage and prognosis were investigated. The fraction of PCNA positive nuclei ranged between 1.

[Bladder cancer associated with growth hormone-producing pituitary tumor: a case report].

A case of bladder cancer associated with a growth hormone (GH) producing pituitary tumor is reported. A 67-year-old male underwent hypophysectomy for a GH producing pituitary tumor, 31 months earlier. Although the serum GH decreased postoperatively, recurrence of pituitary tumor with increased serum GH was found and followed by a neurosurgeon.

[Urinary incontinence following total prostatectomy--evaluation by urodynamics and urethrography].

Urinary incontinence following total prostatectomy was evaluated in 10 patients by urodynamics and lateral urethrography. The pathological stage of the tumors in these patients was pT2 in 5 patients, pT3 in 3 patients and pT4 in 2 patients. Urinary incontinence was present in 8 patients, of whom 7 were stress incontinence and one was urge and stress incontinence.

[Results of total prostatectomy for treatment of prostatic cancer].

Between 1970 and 1989, total prostatectomy was performed in 31 patients with prostatic cancer at the Department of Urology, Tokyo Metropolitan Fuchu Hospital. These cases were composed of 4 cases of stage A, 8 cases of stage B and 19 cases of stage C. The surgical procedures were perineal prostatectomy in 25 cases, combined method of perineal and retropubic prostatectomy in 5 cases and transsacral prostatectomy in one case.
