CHAPTER13 Renal medicine and urology
Prostatecancer
Prostate cancer is the 6th most common cancer worldwide. It is the most common cancer aecting men making up 26% of all male cancer diagnoses and ~10,000 men/ y die from the disease in the UK. 1 in 6 men have clinical prostate cancer in their lifetimes and the incidence is rising.
Classication
Non- metastatic prostate cancer Can be divided into:
• Clinically localized disease— cancer thought after clinical examination to be conned to the prostate gland
• Locally advanced disease— cancer that has spread outside the capsule of the prostate gland but has not yet spread to other organs
Metastatic prostate cancer Cancer that has spread outside the prostate gland to local, regional, or systemic LNs, seminal vesicles, or other body organs (e.g. bone, liver, brain).
Riskfactors
Age Uncommon <50y; 85% are diagnosed aged >65y
Genetic i incidence if rst- degree relative aected
Racial Incidence varies according to location in the world and ethnic group. Highest rates are in men of black ethnic group in the USA— lowest in Chinese men
Dietary Links are proposed between prostate cancer and low intake of fruit (particularly tomatoes) and high intake of fat, meat and Ca
Screening There is currently no screening programme in the UK.
Problems with screening:
• Incidental postmortem evidence of prostate cancer is high (875% men >75y), very few become clinically evident, so many more men would be found with prostate cancer by screening than would die or have symptoms from it
• Natural history of prostate cancer is not understood— there is no means to detect which ‘early’ cancers become more widespread
• Inadequate screening tests
• It is not clear if early treatment enhances life expectancy
• Peak incidence of morbidity and mortality is in old age (75– 79y) so potential years of life saved by screening are small
Screeningtests
Prostate- specic antigen (PSA) E p. 433
Digital rectal examination (DRE) Operator- dependent, fails to detect early prostate cancers and lacks specicity. Annual screening in the USA and Germany has not d mortality
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) Too expensive
The most eective screening regime involves rectal examination and PSA testing followed by TRUS for suspicious lesions. Optimal screening interval is unknown but serial screening does i detection.
Symptoms andsigns
Early cancer Symptomless. Usually detected following an incidental nding of i PSA. Hard nodule sometimes felt in prostate on DRE.

PROSTATECANCER
Localdisease
• Prostatism
• Urinary retention
• Haematuria
• Lower extremity oedema
• On rectal examination, the prostate is hard,
non- tender, and sulci lose denition
Metastaticdisease
• Malaise
• Weight loss
• Bone pain
• Pathological fractures
Investigation
N
A digital rectal examination and a PSA test (after counsel-
• Spinal cord compression
• Ureteric obstruction may cause renal
failure
• Signs depend on site of metastases
ling) are recommended for patients with any of the following unexplained symptoms:
• Erectile dysfunction
• Haematuria
• Lower back pain
• Any lower urinary tract symptoms
• Weight loss, especially in the elderly
• Bone pain
0 Exclude UTI before PSA testing and postpone digital rectal examination until after the PSA test is done.
Urgent referral
N
• Rectal examination— hard, irregular prostate typical of prostate
cancer. PSA result should accompany the referral
• PSA levels are greater than the age- specic reference range 0 Consider discussion with specialist and patient ± carer before referral
for very elderly patients and those compromised by other co- morbidities. 0 Referral is not needed if the prostate is simply enlarged and the PSA is
in the age- specic reference range.

CHAPTER13 Renal medicine and urology
Treatment ofprostatecancer
Symptomless local disease Treatment is controversial. There are 2
arguments: Benets of treatment are outweighed by risks
>50% of >50y who die from other causes are found postmortem to have prostate cancer— prostate cancer kills only a small minority of men who have it. The personal and economic cost of treating men whose cancer would never have caused them any problems must be considered.
Options
Watchful waiting or active surveillance Monitor with PSA and regular rectal examination. i in PSA or size of nodule triggers active treatment. Alarge UK trial published in 2016 has found active monitoring is as eective as surgery and radiotherapy, in terms of survival at 10years with less side eects. Progression rates are higher in patients with poorly dierentiated cancer. Some men nd the uncertainty of waiting dicult to cope with
Radical prostatectomy Has potential for cure, but in the age group most aected by prostate cancer, mortality is 1.4%. Other common complications:impotence (50%), incontinence (25%)
Radiotherapy May not be eective— persistent cancer is found in 30% on biopsy. Brachytherapy (radioactive treatment in implanted seeds or wires) has proven ecacy in early prostate cancer
Hormone treatment No convincing evidence that this gives survival benet in early disease
Others Minimally invasive treatments, e.g. cryo- or microwave therapy
Symptomatic disease 30% 5y survival. Hormone manipulation is the
mainstay of treatment and gives 80% d in bone pain, PSA, or both and a lower incidence of serious complications (e.g. spinal cord compression) if treatment starts at the time of diagnosis. Options:
Luteinizing hormone- releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues e.g. goserelin— sc injection every 4– 12wk (depending on the preparation used). Testosterone levels d to levels of castrated men in <2mo. Side eects:impotence, hot ushes, gynaecomastia, local bruising and infection around injection site. When starting LHRH analogues, LH level initially i which can cause in­creased tumour activity or ‘are’. Counteracted by prescription of anti­androgens (e.g. utamide) for a few days before administration of the rst dose of LHRH and concurrently for 3wk. Response in most patients lasts for 12– 18mo.
Anti- androgens e.g. cyproterone acetate, utamide, bicalutamide. Do not suppress androgen production completely. Used to prevent side eects due to testosterone are during initiation of LHRH analogues, as monotherapy (e.g. bicalutamide 150mg od), and in combination with LHRH analogues to produce maximum androgen blockade.
Surgical castration d testosterone secretion permanently without the need for medication. However, rarely used.
Or Aggressive treatment before spread is
the only way to ensure cure.
https://t.me/med1917
TREATMENT OFPROSTATECANCER
Bony metastases In addition to hormone therapy, local radiotherapy
and corticosteroids are used for bone pain. Radioactive strontium d the number of new sites of bone pain developed. Mean survival <5y.
Hormone- resistant disease No agreed treatment. Involve the
multidisciplinary team including urology, oncology, and palliative care. Dexamethasone 0.5mg daily or docetaxel may be helpful.
Factors aecting prognosis of prostate cancer
Stage
Tumour Lymph nodes? Metastases?
T1 Impalpable N0 No M0 No spread
T2 Tumour completely
within the prostate gland
T3 Tumour has breached the
capsule of the prostate
T4 Spread within the pelvis
e.g. to bladder or bowel
N1 1 +ve LN <2cm
diameter
N2 >1 +ve LN or 1 LN
of 2– 5cm diameter
N3 Any +ve LN >5cm
diameter
outside the pelvis
M1 Spread outside
the pelvis
Gleason score Histological grade. Cells are graded 1– 5 the less dieren­tiated they are. The 2 areas of the biopsy with the highest grade cells are added together. Low- grade tumours likely to grow slowly have low scores (2– 4); high- grade tumours have high scores (7– 10).
Age Older patients with low- grade tumours are likely to die from some­thing other than their prostate cancer. PSA
• PSA >40:high chance of nodal or metastatic spread
• PSA >100:metastatic spread is very likely
Prognosis 5y survival rates for tumour stage:
• 1 or 2— tumour conned within the prostate (65– 98%)
• 3— tumour has breached the capsule of the prostate (60%)
• 4— spread to LNs, within the pelvis, or elsewhere (20– 30%)

CHAPTER13 Renal medicine and urology
Conditions ofthepenis
Posterior urethral valves Folds of mucosa inhibit or block
passage of urine causing urethral, bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis dilatation.
Presentation Usually detected on antenatal USS. Can present in
neonates with urinary retention or dribbling urine + distended bladder, UTI or uraemia, or later in childhood with recurrent UTI or incontinence.
Investigation and management MCUG conrms diagnosis. In all cases refer to urology for surgical disruption of the valves.
Hypospadias 1 in 400 male births. The urethral meatus opens on the
ventral side of the penis. There is often hooding of the foreskin and ven­tral exion of the penis. Refer to urology. Treated with corrective surgery, ideally preschool.
Non- retractile foreskin Usually noted by parents. May be history of
recurrent balanitis. Examination:foreskin adherent.
Management Age <4y— do nothing unless recurrent balanitis. If >4y and/ or recurrent balanitis, consider treatment with topical steroids (e.g. betamethasone 0.1% od) for 3– 4mo. If ineective, refer to paediatric sur­gery for circumcision.
Phimosis Foreskin obstructs urine ow. Common in small children.
Time usually obviates the need for circumcision. Treat as for non­retractile foreskin if recurrent balanitis.
Peyronie’s disease Hard lumps in the shaft of the penis. Unknown
cause. 4% >40y. 1 in 3 have pain/ bending of the penis when erect. Associated with erectile dysfunction (E p. 754). 5% have Dupuytren’s contracture.
Management Reassurance usually suces. No proven medical treatments. Refer to urology for surgery if pain or severe bending on erection so that intercourse is not possible.
Paraphimosis Foreskin is retracted then (because of oedema) unable to
be replaced. Commonly occurs in catheterized patients when the catheter is changed.
Management Try to replace foreskin using ice packs (d swelling) and lubri- cation (e.g. K- Y® Jelly). If unable to replace the foreskin, admit for surgery.
Balanitis Acute inammation of glans and foreskin. Common
organisms— staphylococci, streptococci, coliforms, Candida. Can occur at any age. Most common in young boys when associated with non- retractile foreskin/ phimosis. In elderly patients consider DM.
Management Oral antibiotics (e.g. ucloxacillin) or topical antifungals (e.g. clotrimazole). If recurrent or secondary to phimosis consider referral for circumcision.
https://t.me/med1917
CONDITIONS OFTHEPENIS
Balanitis xerotica et obliterans Chronic brosing condition of the foreskin which may become adherent to the glans. Treatment is with topical steroid creams, e.g. betamethasone 0.1%. Consider referral for circumcision.
Trauma tothe foreskin Torn frenulum— seen after poorly lubricated
intercourse or if caught in a zip. No treatment required. If recurrent, con­sider referral for circumcision.
Erectile dysfunction E p. 754
Priapism Persistent painful erection not related to sexual desire.
Cause Medication for erectile dysfunction, idiopathic, leukaemia, sickle cell disease, or pelvic tumour.
Management Ask the patient to climb stairs (arterial ‘steal’ phenomenon), apply ice packs. If unsuccessful, refer to A&E for aspiration of corpora. Rarely surgery is needed.
Erythroplasia of Queyrat Premalignant condition of glans. Moist
velvety- looking patches. Refer to urology. Treatment is surgical.
Carcinoma ofthe penis Squamous cell carcinoma (95%) or malignant
melanoma. Usually elderly men. Rare in the UK.
ManagementN Refer urgently patients with symptoms or signs of penile
cancer. These include:
• Progressive ulceration in the glans, prepuce, or skin of the penile shaft
• Mass in the glans, prepuce, or skin of the penile shaft 0 Lumps within the corpora cavernosa can indicate Peyronie’s disease,
which does not require urgent referral.
Penile discharge Associated with urethritis, e.g. due to chlamydia or
gonorrhoea. Refer to GUM clinic.

CHAPTER13 Renal medicine and urology
Testiculardisease
Testicular pain Treat the cause:
• Epididymo- orchitis
• Torsion of the testis
• Trauma and haematoma formation
Torsion ofthe testis Peak age 15– 30y. Presents with sudden- onset,
severe scrotal pain. May be associated with right iliac fossa pain, nausea, and vomiting. Examination:tender, hard testis riding higher than contralat- eral testis. Admit urgently to surgical/ urology team
Torsion ofthe hydatid ofMorgagni Small embryological remnant at
the upper pole of the testis. Presents similarly to torsion of the testis. Refer as an emergency to exclude torsion of the testis.
Epididymo- orchitis Inammation of the testis and epididymis due to
infection. May occur at any age. The most common viral cause is mumps. The most common bacterial causes are Chlamydia or gonococci (<35y) and coliforms (>35y). Chronic infection with TB or syphilis is rare.
Presentation Acute- onset pain in testis; swelling and tenderness of testis/ epididymis; fever ± rigors; may be urethritis, dysuria and/ or i frequency.
Management May be dicult to distinguish from torsion of the testis. If in doubt, admit for urology/ surgical opinion. Otherwise investigate and treat for the underlying cause.
Testicular lumps and swellings Figure 13.3
Hydrocele Collection of uid in tunica vaginalis. Occurs at any age.
1° hydrocele— no predisposing cause in scrotum
2° hydrocele— reaction to pathology in testis or covering (infection, tumour, torsion). In adults presenting with hydrocele, always consider impalpable tumour beneath
Presentation Swelling in the scrotum. The examiner should be able to get above swelling. Smooth surface, transilluminates, testis is within the swelling and not palpable separately.
Management Investigation is not required in children; refer adults for USS if testis is not palpable. Options for adults:
• Conservative management— reassurance— small hydroceles
• Tapping— may be suitable for large hydroceles where surgery is inappropriate— 2° infection and recurrence are common
• Surgery— refer to urologist
Hydroceles in children are usually congenital. May be unilateral or bilateral. Most resolve spontaneously in the rst year of life. Refer to urology if persists >1y.
• Varicocele
• Testicular tumour (rarely
painful)
Hydrocele ofthe cord Arises in part of the processus vaginalis in the
spermatic cord above the testis. Rounded lump which slips up and down the inguinal canal. No action needed.

TESTICULARDISEASE
Can you get above the mass?
YES
Is it cystic?
YES
Is it separate from the testis?
YES
Dierential diagnosis:
• Epididymal cyst
• Spermatocele

• Haematocele
Referral guidelines
N
NO
Dierential diagnosis:
• Inguinal hernia extending into the scrotum
• Varicocele
• Hydrocele of the spermatic cord
NO—the testis lies within the swelling

NO—solid mass
Is it separate from the testis?
YES NO
Dierential diagnosis:
• Acute or chronic epididymitis
• Torsion of hydatid of Morgagni
Dierential diagnosis:

CHAPTER13 Renal medicine and urology
Haematocele Damage to the testis (e.g. due to a direct blow, vasec-
tomy), can result in the testis rupturing and the tunica vaginalis lling with blood. Refer as an emergency for urological assessment.
Varicocele Collection of varicose veins in the pampiniform plexus of the
cord and scrotum. Can be 2° to obstruction of the testicular veins in the ab­domen. L > R.Associated with infertility (thought due to i temperature of testis). Presents with a dull ache in the testis especially at the end of the day or after exercise. Usually visible when the patient is standing. No treatment is needed— reassure. Occasionally surgery or radiological embolization may help if symptoms are severe.
Epididymal cyst Common and often multiple. Found in middle- aged/
elderly men. Usually presents when the patient nds a painless lump.
Examination Smooth- walled cysts in epididymis (palpable above and behind testis), often bilateral
Investigation If unsure of diagnosis refer for USS
Management Reassurance. Refer to urology if painful
Spermatocele Cyst containing sperm. Typically situated in the head of
the epididymis— more rarely in the spermatic cord. Clinically presents in the same way as epididymal cyst. Management is the same.
Testicular gumma E p. 725
Benign testicular tumours Rare (<2% tumours). Sertoli cell aden-
omas; Leydig cell adenomas. Produce sex hormones and cause feminiza­tion/ masculinization respectively. Refer.
Testicular cancer Most common malignancy in men age 20– 34y.
Devastating disease as suerers tend to be young and t and do not expect to be ill. Screening is not eective. Education to ensure men check their testes for lumps regularly and present early is preferable.
Risk factors Undescended testes— bilateral undescended testis l 10× i risk; past history of testicular cancer— 4% risk 2nd cancer.
Presentation Painless lump in testis; occasionally testicular pain or hydro­cele; may present with metastases— back pain/ dyspnoea.
Management Testicular lumps are tumours until proven otherwise. Refer for urgent urological opinion. USS can help diagnosis but do not delay re­ferral. Denitive diagnosis is only made at biopsy. Specialist treatment de­pends on tumour type and extent (Table 13.10). Sperm banking is routinely oered in case of d fertility due to treatment.
0 Children conceived by men treated for testicular cancer are not at i risk of congenital abnormality.
Empty scrotum If the scrotum has never contained a testis, it is
hypoplastic. If the scrotum has contained a testis in the past, it is normally developed but empty.
Causes ofan empty scrotum Undescended or retractile testis; surgical re­moval, e.g. for torsion, trauma, or tumour; testicular atrophy (e.g. due to mumps or trauma); ambiguous genitalia; testicular agenesis— diagnosis of exclusion.

TESTICULARDISEASE
Table13.10 Types and features oftesticular cancer
Seminoma (60%) Teratoma
Typical age 30– 40y <30y
Tumour markers
Nature of tumour
Growth speed Slow growing Fast growing— can ×2 in size in days
Stage of presentation
Treatment Treated with inguinal
Survival 98% 5y survival for stage 1
None β- HCG
Solid Solid/ cystic components.
90% stage 1 (tumour conned to testis)
orchidectomy + radiotherapy Relapses are treated with chemotherapy. More advanced disease is treated with radio- or chemotherapy
disease. Overall >85% 5y survival
AFP LDH— correlates with volume of
metastatic disease
40% occur within seminomas. Mixed tumours are treated like teratomas
60% stage 1 (tumour conned to testis)
Treatment of stage 1 disease is with inguinal orchidectomy and surveillance of tumour markers. 25% relapse in <18mo
Treatment of relapses and metastatic disease is with chemotherapy
Prognosis depends on stage and degree of dierentiation
Carcinoma of the scrotal skin SCC or melanoma. Uncommon
<50y. Painless lump/ ulcer of the scrotal skin ± enlarged inguinal LNs. If suspected, refer urgently to urology or dermatology.
Fournier’s gangrene Necrotizing fasciitis of the scrotal skin and/ or
penis. Patients are usually elderly and often have a hydrocoele. Starts as a black spot and spreads rapidly. Early diagnosis is critical to survival so, if sus­pected admit as an acute urological emergency. Treatment is with surgical debridement and IV antibiotics.
Undescended testis Aects 2– 3% of neonates— but
most descend during the 1st year. Refer those that do not for surgical descent/ xation to avoid i risk of malignancy and later infertility.
Retractile testis Usually young boys with active cremasteric
reex. No treatment needed.
Examination Scrotum is usually well developed. Try to nd the testis and milk it down into scrotum. May be found anywhere from the scrotum to the internal inguinal ring. If not found or you are unable to bring the testis down into the scrotum assume it is undescended.
