Age and Gender Relation in Ureterial Tumors Detected with Transurethral Resection

Bladder tumors are biologically and chemically hazardous tumors that still remains as high morbidity and mortality rates even though the improvements of diagnosis and treatment in clinical field. Ureteral tumors constitutes about 90% of all bladder tumors and their biological behaviour vary from benign lesions to agressive cancers. In our study 66 diagnosed bladder biopsy and transureteral resection material were analysed retrospectively through the database of pathology department of Iskenderun State Hospital between january 2011 and November 2013.When only the bladder tumor cases were examined, 26 (59.65%) male and 3 (10.35%) female patients were detected. The age average of these tumor cases was 63.86±14.84 and ages were varied from 28-84. The 29 patients of tumor cases were consisted of 1 (1.52%) carcinoma in situ, 2 methastathic cancers, 1 papilloma, 2 low malignity potential papillary neoplasia, 14 low grade papillary carcinoma and 9 high grade papillary carcinoma. We observed that urothelial papilloma and low malignant potential papillary carcinoma has low rates and the percentage of low grade papillary carcinoma has high rates according to smilar studies. Unlikely the other studies, we found that the high grade papillary ureteral carcinoma can seen in further ages than low grade papillary ureteral carcinoma.In the light of our study, we recommend to keep in mind that malignant tumors of ureterium can be seen in all age groups and gender.
