Study Notes
Prostate Screening Guidelines
- USPSTF recommends against routine screening.
- ACS and AUA guidelines recommend an individualized approach with shared decision-making.
- For most men, screening with PSA and DRE should begin at age 50.
- Consider screening at 45 for men at high risk (first-degree relative with prostate cancer before age 65, or black ethnicity).
- Men with more than one first-degree relative with a history of prostate cancer should begin screening at age 40.
- Asymptomatic men with a 10-year life expectancy should not be offered PSA testing.
- Routine screening involves PSA testing and digital rectal examination (DRE).
- PSA levels above 4 ng/mL may warrant further investigation (e.g., biopsy or imaging).
- Screening frequency depends on risk factors (age, family history, and ethnicity).
Risk Factors
- Age: Risk increases after age 50.
- Family history of prostate cancer.
- African American ethnicity.
- Diet high in red meat and low in fruits and vegetables.
Diagnostics
- Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): Palpable abnormalities suggest malignancy.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Testing: Elevated levels require follow-up. PSA is usually <4 ng/mL. Evaluate change in PSA velocity in conjunction with DRE. A PSA value > 10ng/mL necessitates biopsy. A PSA value of 4-9.9ng/mL is often biopsied, but only 20% of these patients have prostate cancer.
- Prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3), TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion, and prostate health index are adjunctive tests to use with PSA.
- Alkaline phosphatase: elevated with metastasis.
- Testosterone and liver function tests if androgen deprivation is suspected.
- Transrectal biopsy with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance.
- CT, primarily to evaluate prostate size and pelvic lymph node involvement in the preoperative stage, or for evaluating metastasis.
Testicular Cancer
- Malignant tumor of the testicle.
- Two types: germ cell (most common) and non-germ cell.
- Germ cell types: seminoma, teratoma, teratocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma.
- Non-germ cell types: Leydig cell, gonadoblastoma, adenocarcinoma.
- Screening: Early detection is crucial.
- Risk Factors: history of cryptorchidism, family history, White race.
- Assessment Findings: painless testicular mass, swelling, discomfort, feeling of heaviness, possible loss of libido or erectile dysfunction, enlargement of testicle.
Testicular Torsion
- Sudden, severe, unilateral scrotal pain.
- Scrotal edema and erythema.
- Firm tender mass (may be retracted upward).
- No pain relief with testicular elevation.
- Lower abdominal pain.
- Reactive hydrocele.
- High-riding testicle with "bell-clapper" deformity.
- Horizontal lie within the scrotum.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Absent cremasteric reflex.
- Negative Prehn's sign.
Active Surveillance and Follow-up
- Clinical examinations with PSA every 6 months for first 5 years, then annually; DRE annually.
- Repeat prostate biopsies 1 year after original diagnosis, and then every 2-4 years.
- Evaluation for CVD and prevention in patients treated with ADT.
- Screening for urinary tract dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, suicidality, and caregiver distress in patients treated with adjuvant therapy.
Erectile Dysfunction
- Inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual performance.
- Risk Factors: Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, hyperlipidemia, radiation of the pelvis, COPD, sleep apnea, neurologic disorders, injuries to spinal cord/brain, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Peyronie's disease, cavernous fibrosis, penile fracture, epispadias, priapism, hypogonadism, hyper/hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia.
- Drug-induced: antihypertensives, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antiandrogens, recreational drugs, pain medication (especially opioids and anticholinergics), 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and alcohol use.
- Psychogenic: performance anxiety, PTSD, relationship problems, lack of arousal, anxiety, depression, etc.
- Surgical procedures which lead to postoperative disruption in neurologic function, atherosclerosis, smoking, hypertension, diabetes.
