Abstract:
A 70-year-old male underwent a Transurethral Resection of Prostate for the management of obstructive voiding symptoms. On cystoscopy, papillary frond-like lesions up to 2cm in size were encountered, overlying the right side of the prostatic urethra. Histopathology from the resection revealed clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the prostatic urethra. Primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the prostatic urethra is exceedingly rare, with as few as 9 cases reported. We review the literature for its oncogenesis, discuss the histopathological features for diagnosis and report on our surgical management and outcome.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
02:07Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
