Overview
Adenocarcinoma of the urethra in females, a rare malignancy was discovered as early as 1945. Case reports of primary urethral cancers in males have been reported as early as 1948.
Historical perspective
- In 1945, adenocarcinoma of the urethra was first discovered and described in females.[1]
- Later in 1948, carcinoma of urethra in males is disovered.[2]
- In 1962, a case of melanosarcoma of urethra is described.[3]
- A case of rhabdomyosarcoma in a 5 year old girl has been described in the year 2007.[4]
- Carcinoma insitu in bladder and urethra among renal transplant patient has been reported in the year 2008.[5]
Land mark events
- FDA approved the first chemotherapy drug "cisplatin" for treatment of bladder tumors in 1978 and the drug is also being used for the treatment of urethral cancers..
- FDA approved the use of live bacterium, bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for treatment and prevent the recurrence of superficial tumors in 1990.[7]
- New chemotherapy combination regimen including gemcitabine with cisplatin is introduced as more effective with less side effects compare to MVAC therapy in 2000.[8]
- Photodynamic therapy is an innovative therapeutic modality in urologic malignancy.[9]
