Anterior
Which renal v can be ligated due to icnreased collaterals
Left renal v
Seminal vesicles are connected to
vas deferens
Spermatic cord structures
testicular artery, pampiniform plexus, vas deferens, cremasteric muscle, ilioinguinal nerve, genital branch of genitofemoral nerve

Which type of stone is radiopaque
Struvite
How to prevent cysteine stones
tiopronin
Stones greater than what size are unlikely to pass
6 mm
1 testicular tumor
seminoma
Seminoma - sensitivity to XRT?
Extremely sensitive
Seminoma with AFP elevation
Shouldn’t be! Treat like non seminomatous
tx for seminoma
orchiectomy and retroperitoneal XRT
Chemo in seminoma - what types and when
Reserved for mets or bulky retroperitoneal disesase
cisplatin, bleomycin, VP-16
90% of non seminomatous testicular CA have what markers
AFP and b-HCG
At what stage do non seminomatous testicular CA receive adjuvant chemo
Stage II or greater
Cisplatin, bleomycin, VP-16
MC site of prostate ca
posterior lobe
most common mets for prostate CA
bone
what are options if intracapsular prostate CA and no mets (T1 and T2)
XRT
OR
radical prostatectomy + pelvic LND (if life span >10 years)
Option for prostate CA with extracapsular invasion or metastatic disease
XRT + androgen ablation with leuoprolide, flutamide or bilateral orchiectomy
Leuprolide MOA
GnRH agonist
Flutamide MOA
testosterone receptor blocker
