Although many studies have been published about specific lesions characterizing von Hippel-Lindau(VHL) disease, none dealt with the natural history of whole disease and consequent disabilities. We aim to define comprehensive VHL describe functional disabilities their impact upon patients' quality life, thereby tailoring follow-up schedule accordingly. performed a prospective analysis on 128 VHL-affected patients beginning in 1996. For each affected organ, we defined intervals between first...
Background: Next-generation imaging (NGI) technologies such as multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) and total-body NGI (tbNGI) methodologies including choline, fluciclovine or PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), whole-body MRI (wbMRI), PET/MRI are becoming increasingly available, but their use in different prostate cancer (PCa) settings is under debate. The Gruppo Uro-Oncologico del Nord-Est (GUONE) designed a survey to explore the current clinical practice...
Background: The optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer (PCa) in patients aged ≥75 years (mild-old oldest-old) are still contentious. Resource allocation ideal treatment older challenges, mainly due to their comorbidities reduced life expectancy. This survey aims assess current clinical practices the experiences of healthcare providers diagnosis management elderly with PCa. Materials Methods: In Northeast Italy, members Gruppo Uro-Oncologico del Nord-Est (GUONE)...
Radical perineal prostatectomy, relative to retropubic has become an increasingly used surgical technique for prostate cancer, following advances in laparoscopic methods pelvic lymph node dissection. Recent protocols of risk stratification may even obviate the need Section rectourethralis muscle (RUM) is necessary access retroprostatic space, however, during this procedure rectal injuries be produced. In work, we studied topography and morphology RUM, which, despite its importance surgery,...
Introduction Statistical data referring to sports-related traumas of the urinary tract are quite scarce; nevertheless, it is possible draw general on relationship between sports and urological traumas. Methods Literature review peer-reviewed articles published by May 2009. Results Urological account for about 10% all traumas, 13% them sports-related. Genitourinary among most common cause abdominal injuries in sports. Blunt more than penetrating ones renal far common, followed testicular...
Introduction Prostatitis-like syndromes are high prevalent health problems and frequently considered by patients physicians as strictly correlated to sports causing perineal compression. These their relationships with sporting activities have been discussed in this report. Methods We reviewed peer-reviewed scientific articles published May 2009 searched according the following term selection: prostatitis, pudendal nerve, sport, cycling. Results Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain...
Several substances such as growth hormone (GH), erythropoietin (Epo), and anabolic steroids (AS) are improperly utilized to increase the performance of athletes. Evaluating potential cancer risk associated with doping agents is difficult since these drugs often used at very high doses in combination other licit or illicit drugs. The GH, via its mediator, insulin-like factor 1 (IGF-1), involved development progression cancer. Animal studies suggested that levels GH/IGF-1 androgen-independent...
A 50 year old white man received an incidental ultrasound diagnosis of hypoechoic mass interesting the right seminal vesicle. CT scan showed presence a 7.8 cm roundish cyst, originating from He had been followed by removal vesicle and both cystic lesion. The histological findings specimen documented small round cells compatible with Ewing's sarcoma/PPNET. patient also adjuvant chemotherapy radiation treatment. After 10 years, follow-up is still negative.
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the ability fluorine-18-fluorocholine (18F-FCH) PET/computed tomography (CT) detect oligometastatic disease (OMD) in patients with early recurrence prostate cancer (PC) [prostate-specific antigen (PSA)≤5 ng/ml]. Patients and methods Between 2010 2016, 324 PC PSA levels less than or equal 5 ng/ml were recruited. mean (SD) age 71 (10) years. All treated a radical prostatectomy±lymphadenectomy. One-hundred twenty-one under hormonal therapy at time...
Clinical effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) in the treatment both neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity has been demonstrated several studies. However, different protocols techniques have used by authors. Methods. Literature review on intradetrusor injection BTX for overactivity. Results. The greatest clinical experience reports use 200 300 U Botox®. Available data suggest that efficacy, duration, side effect profile is similar at these doses. Very few data, other hand, are...

Nephrogenic adenoma is an uncommon benign lesion of the urinary tract induced by chronic irritation vesical mucosa, due to infection, trauma, surgery, calculi, foreign bodies and chemical agents. A 68-year-old male was admitted our linic for a periodical cystoscopic evaluation as part follow-up initiated past transitional cell carcinoma. The scheduled cystoscopy revealed, within bladder diverticulum, unexpected completely asymptomatic nephrogenic that we removed transurethral resection. We...
The formulation of proper evaluation criteria after superficial bladder cancer therapy poses several methodological problems that are often peculiar to the disease. Achilles' heel many trials is possibly found in used trial's outcome. As a consequence, total agreement regarding for response and needed. adoption standard should be given high priority. Uniform chosen because they meet standards reliability statistical validity. Thus, must reproducible correlate with some measures patient...
