Clinical Pearls in Urology

Because temozolomide is associated with changes in male fertility, consider referring patients for sperm banking prior to initiating chemotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)
The schedule of radium-223 used in the ALSYMPCA trial is 5 minute infusion every 4 weeks x6 doses. Given in this fashion, it significantly improved median OS, time to SRE and time to PSA progression in men with advanced cancer of the prostate without demonstrable side effects
In RTOG 94-08 the addition of short course androgen deprivation to radiation therapy for men with intermediate risk cancer of the prostate resulted in a 50% reduction in disease specific mortality at 10-years

The study involved 1140 men with advanced cancer of the prostate, 717 men with localized cancer of the prostate, and 1096 healthy controls from the California Collaborative Prostate Cancer Study. There was an inverse association between baked poultry and advanced prostate cancer.

Risk factors for delirium post-radical cystectomy

The incidence of post-operative delirium was 29%. Further, patients with post-operative delirium were at increased risk for readmission (OR = 10.7) and re-operation (OR = 9.2).

The study involved 76,813 men with a median follow-up of 12 y. There were 666 cases with metastatic cancer of the prostate(256 screened [.67%/1000] and 410 non-screened [.86%/1000]).
