Part 2-Organ-Sparing Procedures in Testicular and Penile Tumors
International Urology and Nephrology (2019) 51:1699–1708 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11255-019-02182-6 UROLOGY - REVIEW Organ‑sparing procedures in GU cancer: part 2‑organ‑sparing procedures in testicular and penile tumors Mohamed H. Kamel1,3 · Mahmoud I. Khalil1,3 · Ehab Eltahawy1,3 · Rodney Davis1 · Nabil K. Bissada2 Received: 1 May 2019 / Accepted: 23 May 2019 / Published online: 2 July 2019 © Springer Nature B.V. 2019 Abstract Purpose Organ-sparing surgery (OSS) is recommended in selected patients with testicular tumors and penile cancer (PC). The functional and psychological impacts of organ excision for these genital tumors are profound. In this review, we sum- marize the indications, techniques and outcomes of OSS for these two tumors. Methods PubMed® was searched for relevant articles up to December 2018. For Testicular sparing surgery (TSS) search, keywords used were; testicular tumors alone and in combination with “testicular sparing surgery”, “partial orchiectomy” and outcomes. For penile conserving surgery (PCS), keywords used were: penile cancer alone and in combination with “penile conserving surgery”, “partial penectomy” and outcomes. Because of the low quality of available evidence, a narrative rather that systematic review has been performed. Results Indications of TSS are tumors ≤ 2 cm in solitary testis or bilateral tumors and no rete testis invasion. Prerequisites include normal testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels and patient compliance with follow-up. Indications for PCS are distal penile lesions with clinical stage ≤ T1. Adequate penile stump (3 cm) is required after surgery to maintain forward urine stream. Frozen section helps to reduce the risk of recurrence. Local recurrence after PCS is not associated with reduced survival and can be managed with another PCS in selected patients. -

BACKGROUND Penile carcinoma is an uncommon malignant disease with an incidence ranging from 0.1 to 7.9 per 100,000 males. In Europe, the incidence is 0.1–0.9 and in the US, 0.7–0.9 per 100,000 (1). In some areas, such as Asia, Africa and South America, penile carcinoma accounts for as many as 10–20% of male cancers. Phimosis and chronic irritation processes related to poor hygiene are commonly associated with this tumour, whereas neonatal circumcision gives protection against the disease. -

Gender Affirming Surgery and Related Procedures State(S): LOB(S): Idaho Montana Oregon Washington Other: Commercial Medicare Medicaid
Gender Affirming Surgery and Related Procedures State(s): LOB(s): Idaho Montana Oregon Washington Other: Commercial Medicare Medicaid Enterprise Policy BACKGROUND The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Edition (DSM 5) defines criterion A of Gender Dysphoria as “a marked incongruence between one’s experience/expressed gender and assigned gender.” These individuals must meet additional criteria which include persistence over time and clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning. Benefits must be verified by reviewing the plan’s contract or plan document (PD). Some PacificSource benefit plans do not include coverage of gender affirming surgery, procedures or other related treatment. Groups may elect to customize these benefits; therefore, benefit determinations are based on specific contract language. CRITERIA The member should be placed into case management by Health Services as a way to help the member understand their benefits and required criteria related to gender affirming surgery and treatment, and to assist her/him to navigate the system and promote an optimal outcome. Covered Services and Exclusions – Commercial, Medicaid 1. The following are considered medically necessary gender affirming surgeries. a. Core surgical procedures considered medically necessary for females transitioning to males include: hysterectomy, vaginectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, urethroplasty, scrotoplasty, perineal electrolysis, and placement of testicular implant and mastectomy including nipple reconstruction. b. Core surgical procedures considered medically necessary for males transitioning to females include: penectomy, orchiectomy, vaginoplasty, clitoroplasty, perineal electrolysis, labiaplasty, and mammoplasty when 12 continuous months of hormonal (estrogen) therapy has failed to result in breast tissue growth of Tanner Stage 5 on the puberty scale or there is any contraindication to, or intolerance of, or patient refusal of hormone therapy. -

Urinary Bladder Neoplasia
Canine Urinary Tract Neoplasia Phyllis C Glawe DVM, MS The principal organs of the urinary tract are the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The urinary bladder and urethra are the most commonly affected by cancer in the dog and the majority of cancers in these locations are malignant. The most common type of cancer is Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC). This handout reviews the facts about clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract cancer in the dog. Clinical Features More common in female dogs, urinary bladder and urethral cancer are typically associated with advanced age (9-10 years). Frequent urination, blood in the urine, and straining to urinate are typical symptoms. These signs are also similar to those of urinary tract infections, thus a cancer diagnosis can be missed early in the course of the disease. If the flow of urine is obstructed, abdominal pain, vomiting, depression and loss of appetite can occur. More rarely, dogs can present with back pain and weakness of the hind limbs due to metastases (spread) of the cancer to the spine and lymph nodes. Diagnosis Abdominal radiographs and abdominal ultrasound can be utilized to detect cancer in the lower urinary tract. Abdominal ultrasound is particularly helpful to assess whether other organs in the abdomen region are affected, such as the kidneys and ureters. Hydronephrosis and hydroureter are terms describing a back-up of urine flow due to the obstructive effects of a tumor. Regional lymph node enlargement and possible prostate enlargement in male dogs can be assessed quickly and accurately with ultrasound. Urine analysis is not very helpful as a diagnostic tool in most cases. -

A 6-year-old boy, who was diagnosed as having neph!otic syndrome, was treated with oral administration of prednisolone and cyclophosphamide for 4 years, receiving a total dose of 49.5 g cyclophosphamide. At age 27, a gross hematuria with bloody clots appeared and he presented with postrenal renal failure. He underwent a radical cystourethrectomy and ileal conduit for stage a pT3a pNO MO transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. He was not given any adjuvant treatments because of his renal insufficiency, and he died from the disease 14 months after rad ical surgery.

Sarcomatoid Urothelial Carcinoma Arising in the Female Urethral Diverticulum

A 66-year-old woman suffering from dysuria presented with a huge urethral mass invading the urinary bladder and vagina. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed predominantly undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with sclerosis. Only a small portion of conven- tional urothelial carcinoma was identified around the urethral diverticulum, which contained glandular epithelium and villous adenoma. The patient showed rapid systemic recurrence and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy despite high expression of pro- grammed cell death ligand-1. We report the first case of urethral diverticular carcinoma with sarcomatoid features.
