Abstract
Urogenital tumors are among the most common human tumors. Malignant tumors predominate, and the most important malignant neoplasms in this group are renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder, testicular carcinoma, and prostatic carcinoma. Testicular cancer is not generally assigned a microscopic grade, but the other 3 tumors are routinely graded according to well-established principles (Mostofi et al., 1998; Amin et al., 2004; Eble et al., 2004; Foster and Ross, 2004).
