Q

What is scleropathy

A

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together and the blood to clot.

16
Q

What is the lymphatic spread of penile cancer?

A
  1. Early spread is the superficial and deep inguinal nodes

2. Advanced- the inguinal lymph nodes and skin and possibly the femoral vessels

17
Q

What is the most common place for mets to be located in penile cancer?

A

Lung mets

18
Q

What is a more rare variant of penile carcinoma

A

Verrucous carcinoma-associated with extensive penile warts and Rx is surgery to the penile lesion

19
Q

How do you diagnose penile cancer?

A

Do a biopsy of the penile lesion-ring block at base of penis and excise
If the penile lesion is not responding to STI Rx after 4 weeks
If the lesion is becoming worse(more ulcerating and fungating)
If you palpate hard, mobile or fixed inguinal LN

20
Q

How do you treat penile cancer?

A

Depends on the involvement:

  1. Foreskin-circumsicion
  2. Glans/distal shaft-partial penectomy
  3. Proximal shaft- total penectomy and perineal urethrostomy
  4. small lesions treated with External beam or brachytherapy
21
Q

What is the 5 year prognosis of penile CA

A

Iliac node involvement- 0%

22
Q

When can you not operate on LN in penile cancer?

A

When skin is involved or they involve femoral vessels(catarostrophic haemmorhage)

23
Q

Is the urethral cancer more common in men or women?

It is more common in women

24
Q

What types of pathologies are in urethral CA?

A

squamous cell carcinoma
transitional cell carcinoma
adenocarcinoma

25
Q

A

The prostate, seminal vesicles and Lymph Nodes

30
Q

What are the management options for intermediate risk Prostate Ca?

A
  1. Radical prostatectomy

2. Radiotherapthy- External Beam and Brachytherapy

31
Q

How do you treat Spinal cord compression?

A

With ketoconazole or dexamethesone

32
Q

How do you treat High Risk prostate Ca patients?

A

First do bone scan and MRI to exclude mets
If no mets-do radical prostatectomy
If mets-do ADT mainly BO in TBH
If not use LHRH

33
Q

What are LHRH analogues?

A

Zoludex with anti-androgen to prevent flair
