Imaging techniques can help discover if there’s a tumor in the kidney, how big it is, and exactly where it’s located. A common imaging technique used for kidney cancer testing is an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). The IVP is particularly useful for spotting changes..

Let’s dive into another surgical technique for today’s quick science lesson!

A nephrectomy is a surgical procedure where all or part of a kidney is removed. This operation is often necessary to treat kidney damage or diseases such as kidney cancer.

📣 a PSA video about PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing!

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland, which is part of the male reproductive system. Doctors use PSA testing to evaluate the risk of prostate cancer.

Early screening is crucial to receive necessary treatments and you can discuss with your physician about prostate cancer screening starting at age 45 or earlier if you’re in a high-risk group.

The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among males in the US. Common symptoms are associated with alterations to urination and pelvic pain.

However, in the early stages, kidney cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. Physicians often use imaging tests (CT scans, MRIs) and biopsies to diagnose this type of cancer.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that filter blood, remove waste, and regulate fluid balance. Kidney cancer often presents with symptoms such as blood in the urine, unexplained weight loss, and persistent pain in the side or lower back.

The cystoscope is used to find the tumor in your bladder and cut it out. After the tumor is removed, it’s often sent for further examination to determine its type and stage.

Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat bladder cancer. During TURBT, a surgeon removes the tumor using instruments and a thin tube (cytoscope) inserted through the urethra.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a type of bladder cancer that remains confined to the inner layers of the bladder without spreading deeper. It is characterized by tumors that grow on the surface lining of the bladder mucosa.

Mitomycin-C (MMC) is an antitumor treatment that inhibits DNA synthesis by creating DNA cross-links, ultimately leading to cell death. Cancer cells, which divide faster and with less error correction than healthy cells, are particularly sensitive to this treatment.

[Rob Swanda @ScientistSwanda]

..by recruiting T cells to the area. With higher amounts of T cells near the tumor, they can then specifically target these transformed cells and destroy them.
