Breast & Urology Flashcards
(42 cards)
National Breast Screening Programme
- every 3 years
- 50-70yrs
Stag Horn Calculus
Struvite
- urease producing bacteria
- slightly radio-opaque
THP (uromodulin)
Inhibits stones
Binds to crystals and prevent binding to renal epithelium
Dx for renal colic
- ureteric colic
- bowel colic
- leaking AAA
- ectopic
- MI
- pancreatitis
- pneumonia
- biliary colic (RUQ -> shoulder)
- pyelonephritis
- bleeding RCC
Ix for renal colic
- CT KUB
- low dose
- urate lucent
- urine dip for infection
- MSU
- FBC
- CRP
- U&E
Tx for renal colic
- analgesia = NSAIDs
- Tamsulosin
- removal
- hydration (2L/d)
- urate = allopurinol
- calcium = thiazides
Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma
- VHL
- polycythaemia
Renal Cancer Triad
- palpable mass
- flank pain
- macrohaematuria
Renal - transitional cell carcinoma
- occupational dyes and rubber
Renal Cancer Treatment
- TKI (sutinib, pazopanib sorafenib)
- IL2 (not if anaemic)
- mTORI (sirolimus, everolimus)
- nephrectomy if not metastatic
Bladder Cancer
- 2-Naphthylemene dye/paint
- smoking
- TCC
- SCC = schistosomiasis and smoking RF only not dye
Bladder Cancer Chemo
Cisplatin & Gentamycin
Cisplatin & Methotrexate
PSA Norm
<4
Prostate Cancer Tx
- bilateral orchidectomy
- gosrelein (GnRH agonist) with flutamide before
- if castration resistant = peripheral androgen receptor antagonist = bicalutamide
- Enzalutamide x 5 affinity overcoming bicalutamide resistance
- Cyp17 inhibitor and dexamethasone and oestradiol
Prostate Cancer Palliative Tx
- bone bisphosphonates, RANKL inhibitor (denosumab)
- Anaemia blood
- analgesia
- radiotherapy
Prostate Cancer Chemo
TAXANES
Docetaxel
Carbataxel
Testicular vs Prostate RF
Testicular = Caucasian Prostate = Afro-Caribbean
Testicular germ cell Tx
- chemo = cisplatin and etoposide and bleomycin
- stem cell rescue if relapse
Testicular cancer serum tumour markers
- LDH
- AFP
- BHCG
Penile Cancer Tx
- removal and nodal block dissection
- radiotherapy and drain inguinal nodes
- chemo = cisplatin, fluorouracil, docetaxel
Epididymo-orchitis
- infection of epididymis and testes
- pain and swelling
- chlam and gonorr of genital tract or bladder
- amiodorone causes
- ceftriaxone and doxycycline
- urethral discharge
Testicular torsion
- urethral stricture
- medical emergency to prevent ischaemia
- severe pain
- surgical exploration of both
- if cremasteric reflex present = torsion affects testicular appendage only
- elevation of testes does not alleviate pain
- if do not fix both = bell clapper testes
Hydronephrosis
- from obstruction
- children = from patent processus vaginalis
- remove obstruction and drain urine = nephrostomy tube if acute and ureteric stent if chronic
Breast Tx
- Surgery first line
- if <4cm = wide local excision (and if peripheral tumour)
- if >4cm = mastectomy (and if central tumour)
- radio after wide local to reduce recurrence
- radio after mastectomy if high stage tumour and >4 axillary nodes affected
- Hormonal if receptors positive
- biological = traztuzumab (Herceptin) only for HER2 positive tumours (not if heart disorders)
- chemo
