The Clinical Value of Epidermal Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor for Egyptian Bladder Cancer Patients

Abstract

Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that have risk on the patient's life. The higher mortality of cancer may be due to the finding that the discovery of the disease is too late to be treated because the metastasis and spreading of the disease to different organs is very rapid and this makes the hope of curing too far. Bladder cancer is one of the common cancers in Egypt (represent about 18.4% of patients at the National Cancer Institute). Many researchers found a strong correlation between bilharziasis and bladder cancer, also agricultural insecticides used in rural area is a strong factor.
