Fulltext PDFIntroduction: Bladder cancer is the 2nd urological cancer, most known in people over 50 years old. It starts being seen more and more in subjects under 40 years of age mostly due to several factors. The purpose of our study is to specific those risk factors, to study the characteristics of these tumors and also to appreciate their evolutionary profile.
Methodology: Retrospective, descriptive study, on 17 patients, within the urology department A of the University Hospital of Rabat (Center A) and Urology department of CHIC Alençon in France (Center B). From March 1st, 2010 to March 1st, 2020.
Results: This study concerns 17 patients hospitalized in center A and B with an average age of 35 years, sharing the same risk factor. The pathology was revealed by its main symptom. Our patients benefited from an initial TUR-V resection; the follow-up was then based on the results of Anatomic Pathology. These tumors were preferentially localized on the lateral face and retro-trigone with average size of 3 cm in both centers. The most common histological type was urothelial carcinoma Ta Low Grade in both centers.
Conclusion: Bladder tumors in young people are unusual, favored by the presence of risk factors. However, these factors cannot be incriminated due to the short exposure time. From an evolutionary point of view, superficial bladder tumors seem to have a good prognosis with little recurrence unlike infiltrating tumors.
