Q

complications TURP

A

haemorrhage, retrograde ejaculation, TURP syndrome

20
Q

what causes TURP syndrome

A

glycine irrigation in TURP –> hyponatraemia, hyperammonia

21
Q

symptoms TURP syndrome

A

CNS, respiratory, systemic symptoms, visual disturbance

22
Q

RF TURP syndrome

A

surgery >1hr // large resection // large blood loss // perforation // poorly controlled CHS

23
Q

RF prostate cancer

A

age, obese, black, FH

24
Q

possible symptoms prostate cancer

A

bladder outflow obstruction (hesitancy, retention) // haematuria, haematospermia // pain (back, balls, perineal)

25
Q

what causes PSA to rise

A

Cancer // prostatitis, UTI, BPH, retention // recent ejaculation // exercise // catheter

26
Q

what PSA warrants referall

A

aged 50-69 >3 OR abnormal PR

27
Q

invx prostate cancer

A

MRI

28
Q

what scale is used for reporting prostate cancer

A

5‑point Likert scale

29
Q

when is trans rectal USS + biopsy offered in prostate cancer

A

after MRI if score >3

30
Q

most common prostate cancer

A

adenocarcinoma (95%)

31
Q

what scoring is used for prognosis in prostate cancer

A

gleason (2 = good –> 10 = bad)

32
Q

which zone do prostate cancers usually arise

A

peripheral

33
Q

which nodes are often first affected prostate cancer

A

obturator (+ pelvic nodes)

34
Q

common mets prostate

A

bone!! spinal back pain can be first symptoms

35
Q

mx local prostate cancer (T1-2)

A

active monitoring // radical prostatectomy // radio

36
Q

mx local advanced prostate cancer (T3-4)

A

hormone therapy // radical prostatectomy // radiotherapy

37
Q

complication radical prostaectomy

A

erectile dysfunction

38
Q

complication prostate radiotherapy

A

increased risk: bladder, colon, rectal

39
Q

mechanism GnRH agonists + example

A

Goserelin // lower LH levels by overstimulating receptors

40
Q

what happens in the initial few weeks of GnRH analogue therapy

A

rise in testosterone –> can cause tumour flare

41
Q

what needs to be given during the first few weeks of GnRH agonists in prostate cancer

A

anti-androgen therapy

42
Q

mechanism bicalutamide prostate cancer

A

non-steroids anti-androgen // blocks androgen receptors

43
Q

mechanism cyproterone acetate
prostate cancer

A

steroidal anti-androgen // prevents DHT from binding

44
Q

mechanism abiraterone
prostate cancer

A

androgen sythesis inhibitor

45
Q

surgical hormone option protestatic cancer

A

bilateral orchidectomy
