The genetic landscape of urologic cancers has evolved with the identification of actionable mutations that impact diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic strategies. This narrative review consolidates existing literature on genetic mutations across key urologic cancers, including bladder, renal, prostate, upper tract urothelial, testicular, and penile. The review highlights mutations in DNA damage repair genes, such as BRCA1/2 and PTEN, as well as pathway alterations like FGFR and PD-L1 overexpression.

- Gastric cancer is a major health concern in the US, with higher occurrence and death rates, and this study analyzes trends from 2000 to 2020 based on age, sex, histology, and race/ethnicity, as well as the impact of COVID-19.
- Data was collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 22 program, classifying gastric cancer types and analyzing trends using average annual percent change (AAPC) and age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs).
- Findings reveal that most gastric cancer cases were in individuals aged 55+, predominantly among men and Non-Hispanic Whites, while COVID-19 caused a significant drop in incidence rates, particularly affecting younger adults and highlighting
Introduction: Adrenal cavernous hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that pose significant diagnostic challenges. Despite their benign nature, features overlapping with malignancies often complicate management decisions.
