18
Q

Bladder cancer management

A

21
Q

Prostate cancer management

A

Conservative:
Anti-androgen e.g. GnRH antagonist

Young and fit:
High grade->radical prostatectomy/radiotherapy
Low grade->active surveillance(PSA, MRI, biopsy)

Old and unfit:
High grade->hormone therapy
Low grade->PSA monitoring

22
Q

Solid and cystic

hCG raised if gynaecomastia
CT CAP

25
Q

Testicular cancer management

A
