Abstract:
Metachronous metastasis from renal cell cancer (RCC) after radical surgery can occur in up to one third of patients, most commonly from clear cell RCC. Metastatectomy is a suitable management strategy in oligometastatic disease. We present the case of a 78-year-old woman who developed haematuria 2 years after left radical nephroureterectomy for a pT3aNx chromophobe RCC (ChRCC). No adjuvant therapy was given and surveillance to date was negative for metastasis. A large solitary bladder tumour which was resected, and histopathology confirmed intravesical recurrence of the ChRCC. We present this case and discuss intravesical recurrences of renal cancer.

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...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
