Introduction: Penectomy, whether partial (PP) or radical (RP), are mainly performed for oncological reason. It is a rare but impactful surgery, with significant bio-psycho-social consequences. As some countries moves towards centralization to improve patient outcomes, a demographic analysis of current management in France is needed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: The aim of this publication is to review the initial management procedure for adrenal incidentalomas, and where appropriate, to establish a carcinological management procedure for malignant adrenal tumours.
Materials And Methods: The multidisciplinary working group updated the CCAFU 2022 recommendations for the carcinological management of adrenal incidentalomas on the basis of a comprehensive PubMed review of the literature.
Results: Although the majority of adrenal masses are benign and nonfunctional, it is important to investigate them because of their serious endocrine potential, and because of certain cancers.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the review is to update guidelines for managing testicular germ cell tumors (TGT) based on recent literature from 2022.
- Initial diagnosis involves clinical exam, serum marker levels (AFP, hCG, LDH), and imaging techniques like ultrasound and CT scans; treatment starts with inguinal orchiectomy which helps in defining the tumor stage and treatment approach.
- For specific stages of the tumors, treatment strategies vary, including surveillance for stage I seminomas, risk-adapted options for stage I non-seminomatous tumors, and chemotherapy for metastatic cases, with additional measures like radiotherapy for certain seminoma stages.
Objective: Update of the recommendations for the management of penile lesions.
Materials And Methods: Comprehensive PubMed review from 2022 of the literature on the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of penile tumours. The level of evidence of the studies was assessed.
Introduction: Restaging transurethral resection (re-TUR) of high grade T1 bladder cancer (HGT1-BC) is recommended but the impact in terms of recurrence-free survival (RFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) is discussed. The objective of this study was to evaluate our practice of re-TUR for these tumors and its impact on overall survival (OS), RFS and PFS.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted between 2010 and 2020.
