Tobacco is a strong predisposing factor for development of transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. The usual presentation of urinary tract cancer is hematuria which may be painless in bladder cancer but associated with flank pain and mass in kidney cancer. Cancer of the ureter maybe associated with hematuria but may also have pain due to obstruction of pelvicalyceal system. Additionally bladder cancer may have pain or difficulty associated with urination. Presence of hematuria should alert you to the possibility of a cancer which needs evaluation. Penile cancers usually present with an ulcer over the penis whereas testicular cancer presents with a painless enlargement of testis. You may need to undergo a few tests before a definitive diagnosis is made, the tests include urine cytology, ultrasound of abdomen and if required a CT scan or MRI of abdomen. A cystoscopy may be required which is minimally invasive examination of the urinary bladder from inside.
