Prostate: active surveillance criteria and management
Offer to very low and low risk patients. May offer to favorable intermediate risk if older (age >75).
PSA q6 mos
DRE q12 mos
Biopsy within 12 months with anterior directed cores, then serial biopsy every 2 years
If rising PSA and biopsy negative: Do MRI on suspicion of anteior lesion then biopsy

Prostate LDR brachy: treatment narrative
I would first bring the patient to the clinic to perform a transrectal ultrasound guided volume study of the prostate. The patient would have done a bowel prep. the night before. I would place the patient in the dorsal lithotomy position and prep and drape. I would insert a foley with aerated jelly. Using a transrectal ultrasound with US gel, I would take images every 1 mm. I would assess for any pubic arch interference and record the angles of the probe and legs once finished. I would use these images to create a pre-plan using a peripheral loading technique with PTV of 3 mm laterally and 0 mm anteriorly and posteriorly. I would then take the patient to the OR and position the patient as in the pre-plan with general anesthesia. I would prep and drape the patient, place the templates, and load the seeds according to the plan. Once finished I would take AP and lateral orthogonal films in the OR to check the positioning of the seeds and do a rectal examination. The patient would then return one month later for post-implant CT and dosimetry.
Prostate LDR brachy: dosimetry
Modified peripheral loading. Plan to 180 Gy
Seattle:
V100>98%
D90>90% (minimum, goal is 130%)
V150<40%
V200<20%
urethral Dmax <110-120
rectal D2cc <100%
calculation grid < 2mm x 2mm x axial slice width (also report V90, V80, V150), U200
Prostate hypofrac: dosimetry
60Gy/30fxs as per PROFIT and CHHIP
rectal wall: D30<46 Gy, D50<37 Gy
bladder wall: same as rectum
femoral heads: D5<43 Gy
Seminoma: workup
H&P: painless testicular mass. History of undescended testicle, trauma, genetic syndromes, birth defects, sexual history
Ask about history of prior ipsilatearl surgery, horseshoe kidney, inflammatory bowel disease.
Imaging: U/S of bilateral testicles shows homogenous hypoechoic mass (pathognomonic)
Fertility sparing: sperm count/sperm banking
Labs: beta-HCG, AFP, LDH before and after surgery (TNM staging is based on post-surgery labs)
Surgery: radical inguinal orchiectomy with high ligation of spermatic cord
Post-op labs, imaging: recheck serum markers in 1-2 months (half life of AFP 3-5 days, beta-HCG 24-36 hr), CT A/P. CT chest if CT A/P or CXR positive. Staging is based on post surgery markers. Consider brain MRI or bone scan.
(If persistent elevation in markers after surgery, this is Stage IS and is treated with chemo alone)
