  • Guidelines on Testicular Cancer
    GUIDELINES ON TESTICULAR CANCER (Limited text update March 2015) P. Albers (Chair), W. Albrecht, F. Algaba, C. Bokemeyer, G. Cohn-Cedermark, K. Fizazi, A. Horwich, M.P. Laguna, N. Nicolai, J. Oldenburg Eur Urol 2011 Aug;60(2):304-19 Introduction Compared with other types of cancer, testicular cancer is relatively rare accounting for approximately 1-1.5% of all cancers in men. Nowadays, testicular tumours show excellent cure rates, mainly due to early diagnosis and their extreme chemo- and radiosensitivity. Staging and Classification Staging For an accurate staging the following steps are necessary: Postorchiectomy half-life kinetics of serum tumour markers. The persistence of elevated serum tumour markers after orchiectomy may indicate the presence of disease, while their normalisation does not necessarily mean absence of tumour. Tumour markers should be assessed until they are normal, as long as they follow their half-life kinetics and no metastases are revealed. A chest CT scan should be routinely performed in patients diagnosed with non-seminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCT), because in up to 10% of cases, small subpleural nodes may be present that are not visible radiologically. 110 Testicular Cancer Recommended tests for staging at diagnosis Test Recommendation GR Serum tumour markers Alpha-fetoprotein A hCG LDH Abdominopelvic CT All patients A Chest CT All patients A Testis ultrasound (bilateral) All patients A Bone scan or MRI columna In case of symptoms Brain scan (CT/MRI) In case of symptoms and patients with meta- static disease with mul- tiple lung metastases and/or high beta-hCG values.

They are generally diagnosed incidentally, however, they very rarely manifest as a palpable testicular mass. In this paper, we present, a case of paratesticular metastasis from high- grade prostate cancer clinically mimicking pyo-/hemato-/hydrocele. A 75-year-old man, who had been followed up elsewhere for a huge hydrocele based on scrotal Doppler ultrasonography and scrotal magnetic resonance imaging reporting no suspicion for malignancy, but a pyo-/hemato-/ hydrocele was determined to have testicular metastasis originating from prostate adenocarcinoma.

  • An Overview of the Management of Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome Male Fertility
    [Downloaded free from http://www.ajandrology.com on Thursday, March 31, 2016, IP: 208.78.175.61] Asian Journal of Andrology (2016) 18, 1–6 © 2016 AJA, SIMM & SJTU. All rights reserved 1008-682X www.asiaandro.com; www.ajandrology.com Open Access INVITED REVIEW An overview of the management of post-vasectomy pain syndrome Male Fertility Wei Phin Tan, Laurence A Levine Post-vasectomy pain syndrome remains one of the more challenging urological problems to manage. This can be a frustrating process for both the patient and clinician as there is no well-recognized diagnostic regimen or reliable effective treatment. Many of these patients will end up seeing physicians across many disciplines, further frustrating them. The etiology of post-vasectomy pain syndrome is not clearly delineated. Postulations include damage to the scrotal and spermatic cord nerve structures via inflammatory effects of the immune system, back pressure effects in the obstructed vas and epididymis, vascular stasis, nerve impingement, or perineural fibrosis. Post-vasectomy pain syndrome is defined as at least 3 months of chronic or intermittent scrotal content pain. This article reviews the current understanding of post-vasectomy pain syndrome, theories behind its pathophysiology, evaluation pathways, and treatment options. Asian Journal of Andrology (2016) 18, 1–6; doi: 10.4103/1008-682X.175090; published online: 4 March 2016 Keywords: epididymectomy; microdenervation; orchalgia; post-vasectomy pain management; post-vasectomy pain syndrome; testicular pain; vasectomy reversal; vaso-vasostomy INTRODUCTION to PVPS using the Mesh Words “Post-vasectomy Pain Syndrome,” Vasectomies are one of the most common urological procedures performed “Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome,” “Microdenervation of Spermatic by urologists worldwide.

  • A Retrospective Study of Cryptorchidectomy in Horses: Diagnosis, Treatment, Outcome and Complications in 70 Cases

The aim of the study was to review medical records of horses referred for uni- or bilateral cryptorchidism. It was observed that the Western Riding horse breeds were the most affected, and that left abdominal and right inguinal retentions were the most frequent. Transabdominal ultrasound was the most reliable diagnostic tool to localize the retained testis. Standing laparoscopic and open inguinal cryptorchidectomy were elected as the surgical treatment of choice, in case of abdominal retention and inguinal retention respectively. For incomplete abdominal retention, laparoscopy was the preferred treatment, even though an open inguinal approach was a viable option for the concurrent removal of the descended testis. Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the breed predisposition and the diagnostic and surgical management of horses referred for cryptorchidism. The breed, localization of retained testis, diagnosis, type of surgical treatment and complications were analyzed.

  • UROLOGY in the VIETNAM WAR: CASUALTY MANAGEMENT and LESSONS LEARNED and Sulfonamide) Cured 98% of the Falciparum Malaria Drug-Resistant Infec- Tions
    NONTRAUMATIC UROLOGICAL CONDITIONS 207 CHAPTER 12 NONTRAUMATIC UROLOGICAL CONDITIONS INTRODUCTION Urologists in Vietnam and Japan encountered numerous nontraumatic uro- logical and associated medical conditions. For example, at the 483rd US Air Force Hospital, Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, the most frequent nontraumatic geni- tourinary disorders seen were renal calculi, venereal diseases, and epididymi- tis.1 The authors’ (JNW and JWW) experience in Japan in managing these and other nontraumatic urological and associated medical conditions is drawn pri- marily from our personal recollections of and reflections on these disorders. The exception is the section we present on testicular tumors, which is based on our review of case records and tabulated data. FEVERS OF UNDETERMINED ORIGIN During the 1960s and early 1970s, a fever of undetermined origin (FUO) was defined as a febrile illness without a specific cause that occurs within the first few days of admission in a hospitalized, evacuated patient.2(p78) We saw a large number of patients with FUOs; they had been referred to us (in Japan) because of their urological problems, and it was often difficult to determine whether the fever was from a wound, urological condition, or another cause. In Vietnam, the most common causes of FUOs were tropical diseases—malaria, dengue, scrub typhus, chikungunya, leptospirosis, and Japanese B encephali- tis—or undetermined causes (in 12%–55% in 5 FUO studies).2 But the impor- tant thing to remember is that, then as now, urological patients with febrile events can and sometimes do have con- comitant conditions. In Japan, a significant number of patients with FUOs were found to have malaria (Figure 12-1), primarily that caused by the organism Plasmodium FPO falciparum.

  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Stage Testicular Cancer Guideline

Eggener, MD; Eric B. Bass, MD, MPH; David M. Chelnick, BS; Siamak Daneshmand, MD; Darren Feldman, MD; Timothy Gilligan, MD; Jose A. Karam, MD; Bradley Leibovich, MD, FACS; Stanley L. Liauw, MD; Timothy A. Masterson, MD; Joshua J. Meeks, MD, PhD; Phillip M. Pierorazio, MD; Ritu Sharma; Joel Sheinfeld, MD Purpose Testis cancer is the most common solid malignancy in young males. Testis cancer is a relatively rare malignancy, with outcomes defined by specific cancer- and patient-related factors. The vast majority of men with testis cancer have low- stage disease (limited to the testis and retroperitoneum; clinical stages I-IIB); survival rates are high with standard therapy. A priority for those patients with low-stage disease is limiting the burden of therapy and treatment-related toxicity without compromising cancer control. Thus, surveillance has assumed an increasing role among those with cancer clinically confined to the testis. Likewise, paradigms for management have undergone substantial changes in recent years as evidence regarding risk stratification, recurrence, survival, and treatment- related toxicity has emerged. Please see the accompanying algorithm for a summary of the surgical procedures detailed in the guideline. Methodology The systematic review utilized to inform this guideline was conducted by a methodology team at the Johns Hopkins University Evidence-based Practice Center.
