GU Flashcards
Prostate T Staging
T1a-c: clinically inapparent, detected by bx
T2a: ½ of 1 lobe or less
T2b: more than ½ of one of the lobes
T2c: both lobes
T3a: ECE and micro bladder neck
T3b: SV
T4: bladder, levator, pelvic wall
N1: regional nodes
M1a: non-regional nodes
M1b: bone
M1c: other sites
Prostate overall stage

IIA: GG 1 and either T2b-c or PSA 10-20
IIB: GG 2
IIC: GG 3-4, T1-2, PSA < 20
IIIA: PSA > 20
IIIB: T 3-4
IIIC: GG 5
IVA: N1
IVB : M1

Brachy procedure
Brachy – IODINE 125 (half life 60 days) = 145 Gy
Pre-op
-1 week prior to implant bring pt in for volume study of prostate, determination of favorable anatomy (no pubic arch interference), and creation of preplan to order seeds
-gen med or cardiac clearance
-Flomax 1-2 weeks before
-bowel prep day before
-stop ASA, Plavix, 7 days before; NSAIDS 2-3 days
Day of:
- bring pt to OR with GA
- placed in lithotomy position in stir-ups
- perineum is prepped with betadine
- foley catheter is placed – 120 cc in bladder
- 4 mg Decadron intra-op
- TRUS is secured to table
- insert TRUS: make sure prostate is centered on template (base = 0.0), with urethra in central sagittal plane
- scan prostate
- contour bladder, prostate, rectum, urethra
- make plan based on this contour
- contruct needles with seeds and spacers
- place contructed needles based on plan
- while inserting needles under ultrasound guidance, visualize in the desired plane (rotating bevel can help visualize). Verify position with sagittal and transverse US.
- post-implant room survey
- pt discharged after urinating
- discharge with Flomax, NSAIDs, Pyridium, and Bactrim x 3 days

Salvage CTV volumes
The CTV would be the prostate bed defined as:
- Superior: SV or vas deferens; or 3 cm above pubis
- Inferior: at the top of the penile bulb or 1 cm below the vesicourethral anastomosis, 1 cm below urine
Below pubic symphysis
- Anterior: just posterior to pubic symphysis
- Posterior: anterior border of rectal wall
- Lateral: medial border of levator ani
Above pubic symphysis
- Anterior: 1-2 cm of bladder
- Posterior: mesorectal fascia
- Lateral: sacrorectogenitopubic fascia
INCLUDE RETAINED SVs if involved
PTV= 1 cm (5 mm posteriorly) with daily CBCT
Dose: 66Gy / 46Gy
Salvage Constraints
Bladder-CTV:
V65<50%;
Rectum:
V65<35%;
What to do after surgery for Testicular
Staging is based on POST-ORCHIECTOMY labs/etc.:
- CT abd/pelvis
- CT chest if positive CT a/p or abnl CXR
- repeat b-HCG, AFP, LDH
Testicular S stage
S0: normal
S1: LDH <1.5 ULN, hCG <5,000, AFP <1,000
S2: LDH 1.5-10 ULN, hCG 5,000-50,000, AFP 1,000-10,000
S3: LDH >10 ULN, hCG >50,000, AFP >10,000
Testicular T/N/M staging
T1: testis, epididymis, tunica albuginea
T1a <3cm
T1b >3cm
T2: LVSI or tunica vaginalis or hilar invasion
T3: spermatic cord
T4: scrotum
N1: LN 0.1-2 cm, ≤5 LNs
N2: 2.1-5cm or >5 LNs (or pECE)
N3: > 5cm
(>= 10 mm short axis 37% sensitivity, 100% spec)
