Urolithiasis (kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones, urethral stones)

Disease Introduction Urinary tract stones are small stones formed by the precipitation of minerals in urine. They can become lodged in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra, often causing abdominal cramps, hematuria, difficulty urinating, and even hydronephrosis. The general principle of treatment is "minimally invasive lithotripsy, protection of kidney function, and removal of the underlying cause," avoiding unnecessary surgery. The preferred surgical method varies depending on the location—for kidn

Kidney cancer

Disease Introduction Renal cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor originating from the renal tubular epithelium. Early stages often present with no obvious symptoms and are frequently discovered incidentally during routine ultrasound or CT scans. Typical symptoms include lower back pain, hematuria, and an abdominal mass. Treatment is centered on surgery—for localized tumors, the goal is to "remove only the tumor and preserve the kidney"; for mid-to-late stages, surgery is combined with targeted and immunoth

Prostate cancer

Disease Introduction Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in elderly men. Early stages are often asymptomatic and are frequently detected through PSA screening or MRI. It progresses slowly but is prone to bone metastasis. Treatment is stratified according to stage: localized prostate cancer is primarily treated with radical surgery or radiotherapy, with options for function-preserving and organ-preserving focal therapies; advanced prostate cancer is based on castration therapy, combined with novel

Bladder cancer

Disease Introduction Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system, with over 90% being urothelial carcinoma, typically presenting as painless gross hematuria. Based on whether it invades the bladder wall muscle layer, it is divided into two main categories: non-muscle-invasive (accounting for approximately 70%-80% of initial cases) and muscle-invasive. Early-stage treatment primarily involves minimally invasive transurethral resection combined with bladder irrigation to prevent

testicular cancer

Disease Introduction Testicular cancer is the most common malignant solid tumor in young men, with the vast majority being germ cell tumors. It typically presents as a painless mass or heaviness in the testicle and is one of the most curable malignant tumors currently available, with an early-stage cure rate approaching 100%. Treatment begins with radical orchiectomy, followed by risk stratification based on pathological type, stage, and serum tumor markers, and selection of treatments including close fol

Urothelial carcinoma of the ureter

Disease Introduction Urothelial carcinoma of the ureter refers to malignant tumors occurring in the mucosal epithelium of the renal pelvis or ureter (including renal pelvis cancer and ureteral cancer). The incidence rate in my country (approximately 17.9%) is significantly higher than in Europe and the United States. Early symptoms often include intermittent, painless gross hematuria, and about two-thirds of patients are diagnosed with muscular infiltration. Low-risk, localized cases can be treated with k
