Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in the treatment of localized prostate cancer.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 patients treated with SBRT for localized prostate cancer at Cheikh Khalifa Hospital between 2017 and 2022. All patients presented with intermediate prognostic risk prostate cancer, as classified by the D'Amico criteria.

Condyloma acuminata (CA) is a common manifestation of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection affecting the urogenital tract. While external genital lesions are frequently encountered, urethral involvement presents a therapeutic challenge due to the risk of recurrence and long-term complications such as urethral stricture. We present a case of urethral condyloma acuminata in a 43-year-old male patient who demonstrated favorable progression following electrocoagulation therapy.

The patient is a 31-year-old male who has been diagnosed with poorly differentiated infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma, which has been classified as CUP. The exceptional perineal presentation and diagnostic process serve as a reminder of the diverse nature of CUPs and the crucial role played by advanced imaging methods and a multidisciplinary approach.

While offering benefits, PAE can lead to severe complications, such as ischemic necrosis of the penis, due to unintended embolization of penile arteries. This is highlighted by the case of a 62-year-old man who, after PAE, suffered from glans necrosis accompanied by intense perineal pain and acute urinary retention.
