BCG treatment in high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder tumours: possible situations after its use By Jorge Huguet
BCG is an effective treatment for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder tumors, with response rates of around 70%. However, progression during BCG treatment can occur in 9.5%-21% of cases, resulting in a worse patient prognosis. If there is no response to BCG or BCG failure occurs, the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines have defined different …
EAU Guidelines on Muscle-invasive and Metastatic Bladder Cancer
Standard treatment for urothelial muscle invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy (RC), but RC only provides 5-year survival in ~50% of patients. Review the #EAUGuidelines on #MIBC disease management in this #EAUUrologyCheatSheet!
Vacuum Devices
Penile vacuum devices are considered safe and effective non-invasive treatments commonly used in urology for treating erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, and for penile rehabilitation following radical prostatectomy, urethroplasty surgeries, or penile prosthesis implantation. The device consists of a cylinder that is placed over the penis, creating a vacuum that draws blood into the penis, resulting …
EAU Guidelines on Urethral Strictures
Review the #EAUGuidelines on the disease management of #UrethralStrictures, including both conservative and endoluminal treatment options for male patients with this #EAUUrologyCheatSheet!
Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that affects the penis, causing the development of a fibrous plaque that can result in curvature, pain, and other sexual dysfunction. The disease is named after Francois Gigot de la Peyronie, a French surgeon who first described the condition in 1743. The exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is not fully …
EAU Guidelines on Renal Cell Carcinoma
The majority of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are detected incidentally by noninvasive imaging investigating non-specific symptoms and other abdominal diseases. Review the #EAUGuidelines on how to best diagnose RCC in one page with this #EAUUrologyCheatSheets
Imaging in prostate cancer
In the evaluation of patients with prostate cancer, an adequate initial assessment and tumour extension is crucial for an adequate management of the disease. Knowing the available imaging tests and their indication is necessary for a correct evaluation and treatment approach. If you want to know more about the imaging tests available for prostate cancer …
EAU Guidelines on Urological Trauma: Ureteral and bladder trauma
Ureteral trauma accounts for 1-2.5% of urinary tract trauma, but should be suspected in all cases of penetrating abdominal injury, especially gunshot wounds. Learn more about the #EAUGuidelines on ureteral and bladder trauma with this #EAUUrologyCheatSheet!
Combined hormone and radiotherapy treatment in local treatment and biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer
Radiotherapy (RT) is an alternative treatment for localized prostate cancer (PC) with the same cure rates as radical prostatectomy (RP). Radiation dose is directly related to disease control; however, toxicity is a limitation. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has a cytotoxic effect on tumor cells, which associated with RT has a synergistic effect, increasing sensitivity to …
