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
Highlights in Urology
Red meat cooked at high temperatures increases risk of advanced cancer of the prostate
Researchers at the University of Southern California have reported a risk between advanced cancer of the prostate and red meats cooked at high temperature, pan-frying, and prepared "well done." 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.
Read the article summaryRisk factors for delirium post-radical cystectomy
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine have reported that older age and the pre-operative MMSE results are associated with post-radical cystectomy (OR = 1.52) in patients > 65 years of age (n=49). 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).
Read the article summaryPSA screening reduces risk of metastatic cancer of the prostate
As published in European Neurology, men (age range, 55-69 years) who undergo PSA screening are at decreased risk for metastatic cancer of the prostate. 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]). The HR for men who were screened was 0.58.
