- Abstract
Cancers of the urinary system account for 13.1% of new cancer cases and 7.9% of cancer-related deaths. Of them, renal cancer, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer are most prevalent and pose a substantial threat to human health and the quality of life. Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the male urinary system. It is the second most common type of malignant tumor in men, with lung cancer surpassing its incidence and mortality. Bladder cancer has one of the highest incidences and is sex-related, with men reporting a significantly higher incidence than women. Tumor development in the urinary system is associated with factors, such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, diet, occupational exposure, and genetics. The treatment strategies primarily involve surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Cholesterol metabolism is a crucial physiological process associated with developing and progressing urinary system tumors. High cholesterol levels are closely associated with tumor occurrence, invasion, and metastasis. This warrants thoroughly investigating the role of cholesterol metabolism in urinary system tumors and identifying novel treatment methods for the prevention, early diagnosis, targeted treatment, and drug resistance of urinary system tumors.
