Welcome to the first TechPowerUp news post of 2012! Read on for a couple of impressive overclocking feats with the HD 7970 graphics card. It looks like the new AMD Radeon HD 7970 could be a bit of a dark horse and a lot more potent than its stock specifications would suggest – excellent for creating a competitive graphics card market. The reviews at stock speeds show the flagship HD 7970 to be around 10-15% faster than NVIDIA's flagship GTX 580, which doesn't seem all that impressive since the GTX 580 has been on the market for over a year now. However, what the reviews haven't really shown, is what kind of an overclocking monster the HD 7970 is. It definitely looks like AMD could have easily beaten the GTX 580 by a much bigger margin than they did, had they wanted to and it makes one wonder why they didn't. VR-Zone have spent the New Year weekend overclocking this beast, having reached a whopping 1.26 GHz core clock speed with their HD 7970 - and decent benchmark improvements to go with it. Also, with the fan at 100%, the card never got above a very comfortable 68 degrees centigrade while running Furmark, which is amazing considering how this test is specifically designed to heat a graphics card to the max - but please see the update at the bottom of the article. The stock cooler may be noisy, but it's certainly very effective: an excellent result which will prolong the working life of the card. VR-Zone has tested the card with the latest Sandy Bridge-E Core i7 3960X 6 core CPU. This has a stock clock of 3300 MHz, but they overclocked it to a huge 4680 MHz (42%) to wring the best performance from the card possible. Now, there's an achievement right there. Note that they didn't reveal what CPU cooler was used to achieve this overclock. The GPU-Z screenshot shows the core clock speed of 1267 MHz. This was achieved "with core voltage bumped from 1.15v to 1.25v using publicly available software and a special bios (9th Jan reveal), we got the core clock speed up to 1267MHz." The standard card is BIOS-locked to a maximum clock ceiling of 1125 MHz on the core and 1500 MHz on the memory, which it can handle with ease. 3DMark 11 Performance Preset (stock is P8227) 3DMark 11 Extreme Preset (stock is X2764) ComputeMark (stock is 5920 marks) Unigine Heaven 2.5 (stock is 69.6fps) With results like these, AMD have set a high bar which NVIDIA will have its work cut out to beat and it'll be really interesting to see what Kepler brings to the table in the next few months. Also, overclocking legend Shamino has managed to push one of these cards to an astounding 1.7 GHz+ on LN2! Read about it here. So, as of January 1st 2012, the HD 7970 extends its lead as the undisputed single GPU enthusiast card of choice for straight-line framerate performance and smooth gameplay in demanding games. A great way for AMD to start the year. UPDATE: Notice how the Furmark screenshot shows the card achieving a mere 40fps at 1280x720? A card in this performance bracket can obviously do way better than this. This poor framerate will be down to the power throttling circuitry protecting the card under such conditions by slowing down the performance severely. If the throttle was disengaged the card would perform spectacularly for a short while and then likely cook itself to death, especially with this overclock. Thanks to one of our eagle-eyed forum members for spotting this.
You know, at first I thought the original review for this card showed its performance to be kinda meh. I mean, it is a decent performer, but with all the hype surrounding it, I thought it would perform much, much, better. But these overclocking scores are outrageous. The architecture seems to really scale well with the overclocks. Kudos, AMD, keep up the great work!
Cant wait to buy one of these beasts, I'm going to go wait for non reference cards so I can get a good overclock while staying cool & quiet ^_^
AMD I <3 U, this kind of graphics cards are just amazing, even counting in the future driver improvements in single and crossfire setups this things are gonna blow everything in a huge ball of pixels
Typical AMD move, make something that is made to overclock like a mother, and let the results speak for it. Anyone have a Windows 8 bench of this card yet?
I want one of these so badly. Only if the games I play could use this power, but the games I play my 2x 4850 can handle.
tsk, such distorted logic - you're an enthusiast. You don't need a reason to want it and to have it! Look, my Sandy Bridge upgrade doubled my RAM from 4GB which was plenty, to 8GB, which was way more than enough. However, I had two more slots sitting empty, just looking at me and crying out for more. So, £40 later, I was the proud owner of another 8GB and I've now got a monster 16 gigs in the PC! Do I need all of it? Hell no, who cares!
These are wonderful. I will definitely wait till kepler is reviewed before buying, but so far two of these is going to be my next step. They should allow me to push eyefinity to new limits, especially on water. mmmmmm.
People always complain about the fan, I think of it this way. Compare a Prius/Insight/Leaf to a Camaro/Mustang/Challenger, More power means gonna be louder...
Take a look at the furmark screenshot, notice the 40FPS at only 1280x720? Furmark is no longer a good way to measure power and heat characteristics because both nVidia and AMD throttle their cards immensely with Furmark and other programs like it.
I hate you sometimes. Yes, I'd forgotten all about the throttling on modern top-end cards. I'll update the article regarding this. EDIT: article updated.
AMD has been providing decent performance updates via drivers for the past few years. The newer cards usually get significant performance boosts from mature drivers. There is a lot of false information regarding AMD's Catalyst drivers. In my experience they have been up to par over the past two years.
My 580 stays under 58c at 1000 mhz in furmark with the fan running full tilt. Blower fans have been suitable for top clocks for awhile now, just never at acceptable noise levels. If you have like a separate room just for your pcs you're in luck, otherwise you better be deaf.
How about a Bentley? Take the new Mulsanne, for example. Not only is it more powerful than the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger, under strenuous usage it'll be a lot quieter than a hybrid. And, if they were all the same price, I know which I'd buy
I get like 45°C on my 5870@1GHz, i can barely hear it. There must be something wrong with your cooler?! Just kidding... But seriously, who needs this much horsepower? A 5870 can handle any game out there at pretty decent settings and normal resolutions, so all i can think of are 3x1 or 3x2 Eyefinity setups. I doubt many people have those though...
Not in a million years. But I guess my point is this: speed isn't the only factor, and you don't have to sacrifice noise for performance. Given the choice between a Mustang and a comparably priced Audi, for example, I'd pick the Audi. And a lot of the reasoning behind that is to do with the Audi being quieter and using less fuel. If I was in the market for a 7970, and there was a 7950 with a quality PCB and a near-silent aftermarket cooler for the same price or cheaper, I'd take the 7950. Well, that's a lie - I'd bank the money. But you get the idea
I'm British, so that'd be the Bentley... But which was made where isn't really relevant to my point. I'm sure (I hope?) that there are U.S. built cars comparable to an Audi. If not, I wouldn't be prepared to sacrifice on getting what I want in order to reward some worker over another for the sheer good luck of being born in some particular nation, but that's a different story.
I hate to disagree. You can't compare a regular, civil car, to a muscle car that screams (literally) LOOK AT ME!!! I HAVE THEM HOARSEPOWERZ!!! It is quite possible to build a powerful, yet silent car - look at the Audi A6 or BMW 5 series, they are both family-compatible, even with the 300+ HP engines. If you want them loud, you buy an aftermarket exhaust. Now it's a whole different story on silicone - Intel builds CPUs that perform better than AMDs, yet they consume less power = less heat = less noise. It's all about what you want to achieve and how hard you try. If you want them silent, you buy an aftermarket cooler.

Young families looking to settle down in a safe, friendly, traditional community will feel right at home in South Jordan, Utah. With a median age of just 27.5, this vibrant community has recently seen a tremendous population growth - and most of the incoming residents are young families. South Jordan is situated just 17 miles south of Salt Lake City and is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. Local counts estimate a population of about 56,000, making South Jordan one of the largest cities in the entire state. Thanks to the abundance of children and young families in the area, South Jordan maintains a close-knit feel. Those searching for South Jordan apartments for rent will be delighted to discover this friendly and bustling suburb.
South Jordan was first settled in 1859 by Alexander and Catherine Lince Beckstead. The couple built their home as an agricultural farm, which began attracting many farmers and ranchers into the area. A sleepy farming region until about 1950, South Jordan's population has boomed in recent years.
Today, South Jordan continues to embody some of the region's distinctive values. The Jordan River Temple, a Latter-day Saints temple that overlooks the region's many protected green spaces, serves as a reminder of the region's religious roots. Though the Salt Lake City region has diversified and expanded in recent years, local officials remain committed to environmental preservation. Numerous groups have worked hard to encourage the South Jordan Riverway Wildlife Enhancement project, and one of the town's most talked about neighborhoods - the Daybreak community - is a sustainability-oriented New Urbanist development.
South Jordan is known for its family-friendly way of life, and local attractions serve to reinforce the local sense of community. The Gale Center of History and Culture features numerous exhibits and events that embody the Utah way of life and provide insight into the region's past.

These satchels are hand-crafted in Britain from top quality, natural heavy leather by artisan leather-smiths. This standard design features a long adjustable shoulder strap (4-foot) that gives the satchel bag a lot of versatility. The satchel is very suitable for young kids, teenagers or fully-grown adults who are looking for something different. This particular 11-inch satchel (we have 5 standard sizes of satchel) is cut from Black and Red leather and is then stitched using a colour matched blend of cotton and nylon for extra durability. The straps and fasteners are then finished with silver buckles and finally the satchel is rivetted for completeness. All our satchels go through a number of quality control checks to ensure that the one you receive meets our high quality standard. All our satchels come with a 30-day no-quibble, money-back guarantee that is also accompanied by a 5-year craftsmanship guarantee. Check the reverse of the satchel for our embossed branding that ensures the quality and craftsmanship is second-to-none and that you're receiving an authentic British hand-crafted satchel.
Our 11-inch satchel is the perfect size to act as a ladies handbag. It's the smallest of our satchel designs and is compact and sleek. This makes it very practical and suitable for carrying everyday things such as your phone, purse, reading books, make-up, iPod, Playbook and generally all your essentials.
This particular two-toned satchel features a contrast of our Charcoal Black and Pillarbox leathers. This striking two-tone Black and Red combination harps back to the 1960 when Royal Mail postal workers used to carry their mail in leather bags trimmed with red binding. This vintage postman style bag is very contemporary and is also reminiscent of the Beatlemania period where clothes and bags where often finished and trimmed in a contrasting colour. On this particular satchel the colour of the main panels of the satchel are cut from our beautiful Charcoal Black leather whilst the trims and fasteners are cut from our sriking Pillarbox Red leather. Our Charcoal Black is a colour which gets it name due to the fact that it is a very similar colour to that of charcoal whilst our Pillarbox Red is a colour that is sampled from the pillar and post boxes found on the streets of Britian.
This classically designed and hand-crafted vintage style leather satchel has some amazing endorsements: This timeless satchel design is regulary featured in fashion publications like Vogue, Elle, Look, etc. It's always being snapped as part of the latest looks worn by all the boho celebs on the streets of London, Paris and New York. Fashionista just can't help blogging about them and statistically you've probably already read an article featuring them.
You're probably aware by now that The Leather Satchel Co. craft our own satchels in our own workshops that are based in the United Kingdom. Our leather-smiths have been making satchels and bags since the late 1960s and this particular design hasn't changed much since then. The Leather Satchel Co. is comprised of artisan leather workers and members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen. This particular satchel on display is our standard design but we offer an infinite number of variations for clients who care to shop directly with us.
Would you like your satchel monogramming or fitted with a briefcase briefcase handle? What about magnetic fasteners for quick access or a deeper gusset so you can pack more stuff in it? Would a longer shoulder strap look better with those long legs of yours? Perhaps you'd even prefer a satchel that was crafted to your own measurements? You can unlock these bespoke services for just a few pounds more when you deal directly with our workshop.

Hi. I am Hyo Jung Song from Samsung Electronics. For our research & development, we are very interested in Myrinet switches. At this time, we need some information on Myrinet-2000. Specifically, we want to know following information. If you give me some details, it would be helpful to proceed our R&D. For Small Myrinet-2000 Switches, I would like to know the *actual value* of the below parameter : - routing delay the time for the Myrinet-2000 Switch to process the header flit of a packet (i.e. to decide the output link depending on the routing info. in the header flit) plus the time for the switch (crossbar) to transfer the header flit from the input link to the assigned output link - switching delay ; the time for the switch to transfer a non-header(data) flit from the input link to the assigned output link - flow control delay ; Assuming that stop and go flow control is used for the link level flow control. a. the time for the sender switch to generate the stop flit upon some predefined condition (i.e. buffer occupancy) (the time excludes the actual tranfer time to transfer the stop flit over the link, and counts delay only inside the switch) b. the time for the receiver switch to decide not to send any more data upon the stop flow control. I suppose there is a flow controller inside a switch to implement stop and go control. Basically, what i want to know is *the time to operate flow controller inside a switch* upon "stop" part. And I assume the time is almost same as go part. Besides, as for the NIC, can we get the clock skew #s in the ppm unit? Thank you very much.

Weather Observation and Climatology Prior to 1770
From the invention of meteorological instruments in the middle of the 17th century, natural philosophers recognized that little could be won from individual weather diaries or registers; instead, organized groups of observers were needed. As G.A. Hamberger, Christian Wolff's mentor at the University of Jena, put it:[8]
It is not enough to examine the state of the air in our own location, but we must direct our attention to the surrounding regions. This may best be done if well-informed persons throughout several provinces and neighboring kingdoms record [weather observations] simultaneously. . . . If many ephemerides of this type, from various locations, are published and compared, they will throw great light on [weather] phenomena.
Short-lived organizations or networks of weather observers had been set up around the middle of the 17th century by Périer, Pascal's brother-in-law; by Robert Hooke at the Royal Society of London; and by Ferdinand II of Tuscany, patron of the Accademia del Cimento in Florence.[9] Little came of their efforts and interest in
coordinated weather observation declined from about 1660 to the end of the century.
In the early years of the 18th century as few as three or four natural philosophers in all of Europe culled weather observations from newspapers and magazines and from reports of correspondents. After 1715 more energy is evident: at Breslau the physician Johann Kanold published in his quarterly Breslauer Sammlung observations he compiled from a dozen locations across Europe.[10] In 1723 the Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London carried James Jurin's "Invitatio ad observationes meteorologicas."[11] In it Jurin, the Society's secretary, laid out a plan for daily readings of barometer, thermometer, wind strength and direction, precipitation, and the state of the sky. Some fifteen observers, from Bengal and St. Petersburg to Cambridge, Massachusetts, responded with weather diaries, which William Derham, a Fellow of the Society and author of works on physicotheology, edited for the Philosophical transactions. This labor made Derham the most prolific meteorologist of the first third of the century.
Although Kanold and Jurin had ambitious hopes for their networks, the results fell short of expectations. Observers had difficulties in obtaining instruments. For example, Derham located few observations of the hard winter of 1709–10 made with instruments.[12] There seem to have been no instruments in the American colonies prior to 1716, when the physician Cadwallader Colden began observing in New York; as late as 1727 neither barometer nor thermometer was to be found in the Boston area, where Isaac Greenwood, first Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Harvard, served as Jurin's delegate on the weather watch.[13] A number of Jurin's
volunteers observed without instruments, as did most of Kanold's—instruments seem to have come late and few to central and eastern Europe, where about half of Kanold's observers were stationed.[14] A late 18th-century meteorologist at Prague reported that meteorological instruments first appeared in Bohemia in 1750 and were still rare two decades later.[15]
Even when instruments were available, their measurements were nearly useless unless the instruments were comparable—that is, unless instrument scales were interconvertible. Comparability of barometric observations posed no difficulty in principle, since the length of a mercury column serves as a natural scale for atmospheric pressure—though the variety of national and even regional units of length confused matters considerably. But the variety of scales for the thermometer greatly diminished the usefulness of temperature readings. Although Jurin attempted to secure comparable observations by asking his volunteers to specify the scale and make of their thermometers, many failed to do so. Derham found reducing their data "a matter so perplexed and difficult, as not to answer the great trouble of it."[16]
Lack of precision and reliability posed further problems. Instruments neither rendered accurate readings, nor could they be depended upon to render the same reading twice in identical situations. Precision and reliability, in fact, did not trouble early 18th-century natural philosophers.[17] Imperfect instruments generated much confusion and waste—as late as 1750 measurements made with
inaccurate barometers led eminent natural philosophers to question Boyle's law.[18] As for weather observation, "how many observations have we lost," lamented one late 18th-century meteorologist, "through the imperfection and uncertainty of Mr. Hauksbee's thermometer!"[19] This was just the thermometer Jurin used and supplied to his network.
Observers were scarcely more reliable than their instruments. The discipline of recording daily temperature, pressure, humidity, winds, and cloud cover over a period of years did not come easily. As Derham put it, "these investigations require not only industry and inclination, but also leisure and means and opportunity, which you seldom find together."[20] Rather than follow Jurin's instructions, several of his informants simply submitted registers they had completed in earlier years. Under these circumstances, a consistent collection of observations was unlikely. The labor of reducing the registers delayed publication, making matters worse. In 1732 and 1733, when the project had almost ended, Derham published comparisons of the weather of 1707 at Upminster and Coventry, the weather of 1715–22 at Upminster and Cambridge, New England, and the weather of 1724 in Lund and St. Petersburg.[21] Analyses of the project's last registers, which had been submitted in 1734, did not appear until 1742.
Imprecision and unreliability of instruments, lack of agreement among scales, indiscipline in observation and inconsistency of published collections—all these factors limited the achievements of early 18th-century climatology. A thoroughgoing quantitative treatment was not possible. Instead, meteorologists described the weather and summarized observations by calculating monthly and annual means of temperature and pressure and amounts of rainfall. They aimed, as
Derham put it, to give "a just notion of the state of every month . . . and that which was most observable in it."[22] Even when good quantitative data were available, they did not exploit it. From Jurin's observer at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg Derham received records of the temperature, pressure, winds, and general state of the weather taken three times daily during 1724 and 1725. He felt, however, that the "observations (although very curious and useful), yet being too long, would be tedious to read at the Society's meetings."[23] What sort of quantitative treatment could there be when, as was the practice at scientific academies, Derham read his reports at the Society's weekly meetings?
Besides describing the weather, meteorologists also drew comparisons among the locations reporting to them. Derham, for example, compared the mean annual rainfall of half a dozen European towns.[24] Comparisons aimed particularly at coincidences in weather patterns at different locations, that is, at Meteorologica parallela .[25] Derham repeatedly pointed out agreements among prevailing winds and storms at the towns he was comparing, as well as parallel barometric motions, which were striking. When temperature observations were not comparable, as between Zurich and Upminster, he could still see that the maxima and minima of the two series—that is, warm and cold spells—coincided. "Yea, oftentimes any remarkable weather (especially if of somewhat long continuance) affecteth one as well as the other place."[26] During one month the weather at Zurich "constantly preceded ours here [at Upminster] by about five or more days." Pieter van Musschenbroek, who among his other services to natural philosophy sponsored a network of half a dozen Dutch observers, observed a similar parallelism: "when the south-east wind blows, it arises half a day sooner at Middelbourg than at Utrecht."[27]
These coincidences resulted, of course, from the fact that single weather systems cover large parts of Europe. But only one or two meteorologists understood this before the 19th century. Derham saw this much: that "the weather in both places was influenced by the same causes, whether the Alpine hills and the cold, or the influx of the moon and other heavenly bodies, or any other cause."[28]
Meteorologica parallela were one type of correlation sought by early 18th-century meteorologists. The "weather rule" was another. Meteorologists hoped to discern patterns in their data that would allow them to predict the weather. Thus Kanold expected his collection to provide a "historical-theoretical attempt to predict one storm from another." Derham derived a number of rules from the observations of Jurin's network: "a cold summer is commonly a wet one"; "western clouds bring much wind"; "the falling of the quicksilver in dark and cloudy weather betokeneth rain; but the rain is always preceded by fair weather."[29] These and other "superstitious calendar-prognostications"[30] had long been common in almanacs and popular tradition. Meteorologists hoped to place them on a scientific footing.
These weather rules, meteorological parallela, and general descriptions and comparisons of the weather reflect an approach to the natural world that has been well characterized by Michel Foucault. In his study of 18th-century medical practice he wrote, "Disease is perceived fundamentally in a space of projection without depth, of coincidence without development." Disease appears in the "space" of the human body as in a space without character, flat; the different locations in this space do not affect the disease, so that for example dyspepsia in the lower abdomen, breathlessness in the chest, and epilepsy in the head represent the same disease.[31] Just so, meteorologists perceived the space of the earth's surface as characterless. We
would see the space between Lund and St. Petersburg as a land (and water) mass of great extent, with a richly varied topography (and depth, embracing currents, varying temperatures, varying proximity to land masses, etc.), affecting the weather across its entire compass. For Derham and his colleagues this space might as well not exist. The weather is either the same or different at Lund and St. Petersburg; Derham could compare the weather at Upminster and Coventry, or at Upminster and Cambridge, New England, as easily. So characterless, or "flat," was his perception of space that Derham could call the Alps "hills" and say that the same causes influenced the weather at Zurich, in their midst, and at Upminster, hundreds of miles away in the plains of his island nation.
Just as space, of itself, did not affect the weather, so "there is no process of evolution in which duration [i.e., time] introduces new events of itself."[32] The weather rule, which correlates weather events at succeeding times with no sense of the creative role played by those times, exemplifies this approach. "Western clouds bring much wind," but we have no sense of the connecting skein of time, of the intervening process.
All this represents a lack of synthetic vision, which appears also in meteorologists' failure to describe the climates of places. They calculated mean temperatures and pressures, found days of monthly and annual extremes, and counted the number of days of rainfall. They did not, however, synthesize this information into a characterization of climate. To borrow once more from Foucault, their calculations named the "visible" aspects of the weather, but they did not penetrate to the hidden coherence among these aspects, that constitutes climate.[33]
Nor did they integrate the collection of places they studied into a the notion of a region—so that, a fortiori, they did not discuss regional climates.[34] (Two groups did discuss regions and their
climates: plant and human geographers, mentioned above, and mathematicians who calculated the effects of the sun's heat on different parts of the earth. They belonged to traditions distinct from meteorology; neither group drew on the weather observations considered here.) Climatology, then, existed in neither deed nor word in the early 18th century; what meteorologists gathered was a natural history–a collection of descriptions of the weather here and there, at this time and another. Given the piecemeal character of their data, it would have been difficult for them to proceed otherwise.

Mark Wahlberg
So Wahlberg said "If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry,'"
Then he apologized after victims family members said it was disrespectful...
"To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention,"
No screw that Mark those victims family members can shut up. If a couple of people hopped up with box cutters, I would have deflected them with my arm, bleeding or not and proceed to beat them unconcious. Even if they threatened they had bombs, I'd still take my chances and beat them sensless as if they truly have a bomb, they are going to blow us up regardless. Rock on Mark Wahlberg, I got your back!

Dunbarton Blue
Fourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More -

Urethral Cancer Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Urethral Cancer Treatment
General Information
The prognosis of urethral cancer depends on its anatomical location and the depth of invasion. Superficial tumors located in the anterior urethra of both the female and male are generally curable; deeply invasive lesions or those lesions located in the posterior urethra, because they are almost always deeply invasive, are rarely curable by any combinations of therapy.
Female urethral cancer is more common than male urethral cancer, but both tumors are quite rare. The majority of information comes from cases accumulated over many decades at major cancer centers. Rarely, melanomas or periurethral sarcomas can occur.
Cellular Classification
The female urethra is lined by transitional cell mucosa proximally and stratified squamous cells distally. Therefore, transitional cell carcinoma is most common in the proximal urethra and squamous cell carcinoma predominates in the distal urethra. Adenocarcinoma is found in both locations and arises from metaplasia of the numerous periurethral glands.
The male urethra is lined by transitional cells in its prostatic and membranous portion and stratified columnar epithelium to stratified squamous epithelium in the bulbous and penile portions. The submucosa of the urethra contains numerous glands. Therefore, urethral cancer in the male can manifest the histological characteristics of transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma.
Except for the prostatic urethra, where transitional cell carcinoma is most common, squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant histology of urethral neoplasms. Since transitional cell carcinoma of the prostatic urethra is usually associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and/or transitional cell carcinoma arising in prostatic ducts, it is treated according to the guidelines for treatment of these primaries and should be separated from the more distal carcinomas of the urethra.
Stage Information
Prognosis is determined both by the anatomical location of the neoplasm, the size, and the depth of invasion of the primary tumor. The histology of the primary tumor is of less importance in determining response to therapy and survival.[1]
Anterior Urethral Cancer
These lesions are often superficial.
- Female: Meatal and/or distal urethral cancer (i.e., the lesions of the distal third of the urethra).
- Male: Penile or anterior portion of the urethra, including the meatus and pendulous urethra.
Posterior Urethral Cancer
These lesions are often deeply invasive.
- Female: Entire urethral cancer; lesions not clearly limited to the distal third of the urethra.
- Male: Bulbomembranous and prostatic urethral cancer.
Urethral Cancer Associated with Invasive Bladder Cancer
Approximately 10% of patients with cystectomy for bladder cancer can be expected to have or develop urethral cancer distal to the urogenital diaphragm.
The 5-year survival associated with urethral cancer is most often determined by the stage.
Stage Definitions by Depth of Invasion
- Stage 0 (Tis, Ta): Limited to mucosa.
- Stage A (T1): Submucosal invasion.
- Stage B (T2): Infiltrating periurethral muscle or corpus spongiosum.
- Stage C (T3): Infiltration beyond periurethral tissue.
- Female: Vagina, labia, muscle
- Male: Corpus cavernosum, muscle
- Stage D1 (N+): Regional nodes; pelvic and inguinal.
- Stage D2 (N+, M+): Distant nodes; visceral metastases.

Anterior Urethral Cancer
Female Anterior Urethral Cancer
If the malignancy is at or just within the meatus and superficial parameters (stage 0/Tis, Ta), open excision or electroresection and fulguration is possible. Tumor destruction using Nd:YAG or CO2 laser vaporization-coagulation represents an alternative option. For large lesions and more invasive lesions (stage A and stage B, T1 and T2, respectively), interstitial radiation therapy or a combination of interstitial radiation therapy and external-beam radiation therapy is an alternative to surgical resection of the distal third of the urethra. Patients with T3 anterior urethral lesions or lesions treated by local excision or radiation therapy, which then recur, require anterior exenteration and urinary diversion.
If inguinal nodes are palpable, frozen section confirmation of tumor is obtained. If positive for malignancy, ipsilateral node dissection is indicated, as cure is still achievable with limited regional nodal metastases. If no inguinal adenopathy exists, node dissection is not recommended, but careful inguinal palpation is mandatory at 3- to 4-month intervals.[1,2,3]
Standard treatment options:
1. | Open excision or electroresection and fulguration, or laser vaporization-coagulation (Tis, Ta, T1 lesions). |
2. | External-beam radiation therapy or interstitial radiation therapy or a combination of both (T1, T2 lesions). |
3. | Anterior exenteration with or without preoperative radiation and diversion (T3 lesions/recurrent lesions). |
Male Anterior Urethral Cancer
If the malignancy is in the pendulous urethra and is superficial, the potential for cure is high. In the rare case that involves mucosa only (stage 0/Tis, Ta), resection and fulguration is justified as initial therapy. For infiltrating lesions in the fossa navicularis, amputation of the glans penis may be adequate treatment. For lesions involving more proximal portions of the distal urethra, excision of the involved segment of the urethra, preserving the penile corpora, may be feasible for superficial tumors. Infiltrating lesions require penile amputation 2 cm proximal to tumor. Local recurrences after amputation are rare. The role for radiation therapy in the treatment of anterior urethral carcinoma in the male is not well defined. Some anterior urethral cancers have been cured with radiation alone.[4,5]
If inguinal nodes are palpable, ipsilateral node dissection is indicated after frozen section confirmation of tumor, as cure is still achievable with limited regional nodal metastases. If no inguinal adenopathy exists, node dissection is not recommended, but careful inguinal palpation is mandatory at 3- to 4-month intervals.[6,7,8]
Standard treatment options:
1. | Open excision or electroresection and fulguration, or laser vaporization-coagulation. |
2. | Amputation of penis (T1, T2, T3 lesions). |
3. | Radiation (T1, T2, T3 lesions, if amputation is refused). |
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with anterior urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Posterior Urethral Cancer
Female Posterior Urethral Cancer
Lesions of the posterior or entire urethra are usually associated with invasion and a high incidence of pelvic nodal metastases. The prospects for cure are limited except in the case of small tumors. The best results have been achieved with exenterative surgery and urinary diversion with 5-year survivals ranging from 10% to 20%. It is reasonable to recommend adjunctive radiation therapy, which is administered preoperatively, in an effort to shrink tumor margins. Pelvic lymphadenectomy is performed concomitantly since an occasional patient with nodal metastases will be cured. Ipsilateral inguinal node dissection is indicated only if biopsy of ipsilateral palpable adenopathy is positive on frozen section. For tumors that do not exceed 2 cm in greatest dimension, radiation alone, nonexenterative surgery alone, or the combination may be sufficient to provide an excellent outcome.[1]
As with male urethral carcinoma, it is reasonable to consider removal of part of the pubic symphysis and the inferior pubic rami to maximize the surgical margin and hopefully to reduce local recurrence. The perineal closure and vaginal reconstruction can be accomplished with the use of myocutaneous flaps.
The prognosis of female urethral cancer has been related to the size of the lesion at presentation. For lesions less than 2 cm in diameter, a 60% 5-year survival can be anticipated; for those greater than 4 cm in diameter, the 5-year survival falls to 13%.[2,3,4,5]
Standard treatment options:
1. | Preoperative radiation followed by anterior exenteration and urinary diversion with bilateral pelvic node dissection with or without inguinal node dissection. |
2. | For tumors that do not exceed 2 cm in greatest dimension, radiation alone, nonexenterative surgery alone, or the combination may be sufficient to provide an excellent outcome.[1] |
Male Posterior Urethral Cancer
Lesions of the bulbomembranous urethra require radical cystoprostatectomy and en bloc penectomy to achieve adequate margins of resection, minimize local recurrence, and achieve cure. Pelvic lymphadenectomy is also recommended in view of the significant incidence of positive nodes, the limited added morbidity from such dissection, and the potential, though limited, possibility for cure. Despite extensive surgery, local recurrence does occur frequently and this event is invariably associated with eventual death from disease. Five-year survival can be expected in only 15% to 20% of patients. In an effort to shrink tumor margins, the use of preoperative adjunctive radiation therapy must be considered. In an effort to increase the surgical margins of dissection, resection of the inferior pubic rami and the lower portion of the pubic symphysis has been used. Urinary diversion is required.[6,7,8,9,10]
Ipsilateral inguinal node dissection is indicated if palpable ipsilateral inguinal adenopathy is found on physical examination and confirmed to be neoplasm by frozen section.[11]
Standard treatment options:
- Preoperative radiation followed by cystoprostatectomy, urinary diversion, and penectomy with bilateral pelvic node dissection with or without inguinal node dissection.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with posterior urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Urethral Cancer Associated With Invasive Bladder Cancer
Approximately 10% of patients having cystectomy for bladder cancer can be expected to have or to later develop clinical neoplasm of the urethra distal to the urogenital diaphragm. An autopsy series of patients having had cystectomy for bladder cancer documented histologic evidence of urethral neoplasm in 20% of the patients. A review from the Royal Marsden Hospital showed that those patients having cystectomy for multiple and superficial bladder lesions have an especially high incidence (34%) of urethral neoplasia.
The benefits of urethrectomy at the time of cystectomy need to be weighed against the morbidity factors, which include added operating time, hemorrhage, and the potential for perineal hernia. However, tumors found incidentally on pathologic examination are much more likely to be superficial or in situ in contrast to those that present with clinical symptoms at a later date when the likelihood of invasion within the corporal bodies is high. The former lesions are often curable, and the latter are only rarely so. Indications for urethrectomy in continuity with cystoprostatectomy are:
- Visible tumor in the urethra.
- Positive swab cytology of the urethra.
- Positive margins of the membranous urethra on frozen section taken at the time of cystoprostatectomy.
- Multiple in situ bladder tumors that extend onto the bladder neck and proximal prostatic urethra.
If the urethra is not removed at the time of cystectomy, optimal follow-up includes periodic cytologic evaluation of saline urethral washings.[1,2,3,4]
Standard treatment options:
1. | In continuity cystourethrectomy. |
2. | Monitor urethral cytology and delayed urethrectomy. |
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with urethral cancer associated with invasive bladder cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Recurrent Urethral Cancer
Standard treatment options for female/male recurrent urethral cancer:
1. | Locally recurrent urethral cancer after radiation therapy should be treated by surgical excision. |
2. | Locally recurrent urethral cancer after surgery alone should be considered for combination radiation and wider surgical resection.[1] |
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
- Metastatic urethral cancer should be considered for clinical trials using chemotherapy. Early evidence suggests that transitional cell cancer of the urethra may respond favorably to the same chemotherapy regimens employed for advanced transitional cell cancer of the bladder.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent urethral cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

Posted: Nov 13, 2012 7:33 PM by Irina Cates (Missoula)
Emmitt Hogsten of Missoula, accused of stabbing his wife several times Monday afternoon, appeared in Missoula Justice Court on Tuesday afternoon facing a charge of attempted murder.
Prosecutors say Hogsten attempted to choke and then stabbed his wife after she told him she wanted a divorce.
The incident happened just before 3 p.m. when the two were driving on Desmet Road and got into an argument.
Hogsten then pulled over, and investigators say that's when he held the woman down and stabbed her in the chest and neck.
Prosecutors say the woman thought he was going to keep stabbing her, but the knife broke.
She then got out of the pickup and went into a nearby business for help and Hogsten was arrested at the scene.
Deputy Missoula County Attorney Patricia Bower said, "The State is under the impression that he's a flight risk and that he will not leave this victim alone. There are at least six, seven stab wounds, including one slice across the neck."
Prosecutors asked for a $1 million bail, but the judge set it at $500,000.
Meanwhile, the woman is still at St. Patrick Hospital, where she's listed in fair condition.

This Halloween was crazy with costumes! Adults costumes ranged from humor to horror – one end of the spectrum to the other. Teens, tweens and kids wore everything from the latest big screen blockbusters to fairytale princesses. All the costumes that graced my front porch were wonderful. It's so much fun seeing how creative and bold some children can be when it comes to costumes.
Here are some more great costumes to be seen on Halloween night!
The "General Lee" ain't got nothing on this Hogg.
He was smart enough to figure out the puzzle but forgot about needing his hands for trick-or-treating.
The box has two purposes, (1) a trick-or-treat bag and (2) he sits on it to see over the steering wheel of the UPS truck.
I can't tell if this is part of her costume or if it just jumped on her while she was trick-or-treating.
