    Neoplasms

    CANCERS

     
    Neoplasms are new or abnormal growth of tissues. This may be benign, wherein the tumor grows in an abnormal way and on the other hand, a malignancy is characterized by an uncontrolled cell division with the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis).

    Neoplasms may arise from most of the organs of the genito-urinary tract such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, adrenal glands, penis, testis and prostate. Any cancer, for that matter, warrants the appropriate and immediate attention for the health and wealth of benefit of every patient. This is why the urologists recommend annual check-ups especially for those with family histories of cancer.
