Q

Seminomas are associated with what characteristics?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • 4 S’s
  • -Simple (lacks tumor markers)
  • -Sensitive (to radiation)
  • -Slower growing
  • -Stepwise spread
22
Q

Symptoms of testicular cancer

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Testicular mass MC (painless)
  • Dull pain or testicular heaviness
  • Firm, hard, fixed mass that does not transilluminate
23
Q

Initial diagnostic of choice for testicular cancer

24
Q

What tumor markers are present in nonseminomas

Study These Flashcards
A

-Increased alpha-fetoprotein and beta-HCG

25
Treatment for testicular cancer
- Stage 1: radical orchiectomy with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection - High grade seminoma: Chemo followed by orchiectomy and radiation
26
A hydrocele is
Serous fluid collection within the layers of the tunica vaginalis of the scrotum
27
Symptoms of a hydrocele
- Painless scrotal swelling - Dull ache or heavy sensation - Translucency (transilluminates) - Swelling worse with Valsalva
28
Initial test of choice for hydrocele
-Testicular US
29
Treatment for hydrocele
Watchful waiting and resolves within first 12 months of life
30
A spermatocele is
an epididymal cyst that contains sperm
31
What is on physical exam of a patient with a spermatocele
-Round, soft mass in head of epididymis superior, posterior and separate from the testicle freely movable mass that transilluminates
32
What is the MC surgically correctable cause of male infertility
Varicocele
33
Physical exam finding of a patient with varicocele
- Bag of worms feel superior to testicle | - Dilation worsens when patients upright or with Valsalva
34
Initial test of choice for Varicocele
US
35
Sudden onset of left-sided varicocele in an older man may be possibly due to
Renal cell carcinoma
36
Right-sided varicocele may be due to
Retroperitoneal or abdominal malignancy
37
Symptoms of a urethral stricture
Chronic obstructive voiding symptoms (weak urinary stream, recurrent UTIs)
38
MC type of bladder cancer
Urothelial (Transitional cell) Carcinoma
39
Risk Factors for bladder cancer
- Smoking (MC) - Occupational exposures to dyes, leather, rubber - Caucasian - Males - Cyclophosphamide - Long term indwelling catheter use
40
Symptoms of bladder cancer
- Painless gross hematuria | - Dysuria, urgency, frequency
41
Gold standard diagnostic for bladder cancer
-Cystoscopy with biopsy
42
Treatment for bladder cancer
- Localized: Transurethral resection of tumor (electrocautery) - Invasive: radical cystectomy, chemo, radiation
43
If the bladder cancer is recurrent and electrocautery is unsuccessful, what vaccine should be given?
Intravesicular BCG
44
Symptoms of BPH
- Irritative symptoms: increased frequency, urgency, nocturia - Obstructive symptoms: hesitancy, incomplete emptying
45
Diagnostics for BPH
- DRE: uniformly enlarged, firm, nontender rubbery prostate - PSA: Normal < 4 - UA: to look for hematuria - Urine cytology
46
Medical treatment for BPH
- Alpha blockers (Tamsulosin, Terazosin) | - 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (Finasteride)
47
Surgical management for BPH
-TURP: removes excess prostate tissue; may cause sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence
48
MOA for Alpha-1 blockers
-Smooth muscle relaxation of prostate and bladder neck, leading to decreased urethral resistance, obstruction relief, and increased urinary outflow
49
Adverse effects of alpha-1 blockers
-Dizziness and orthostatic hypotension
50
MOA of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
-Androgen inhibitor: suppresses prostate growth, reduces bladder outlet obstruction (size reduction and decreases need for surgery)
