The patient was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer, cT3aN0M0.
Article Synopsis
- Low skeletal muscle mass, specifically measured by psoas muscle parameters, is linked to worse outcomes in patients with advanced prostate cancer undergoing hormone therapy.
- A study of 121 patients found that those with lower psoas muscle index had significant correlations with progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer and overall survival rates.
- The psoas muscle index serves as an independent predictor of survival, indicating that assessing muscle mass could be crucial in managing treatment for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
A 63-year-old man presented with right scrotal swelling. A physical examination revealed a painless, palpable mass in the right scrotum. The mass was well defined and lobulated.
