BJU International
|March 11, 2015
Summary
Advanced prostate cancer treatment is rapidly evolving with new drugs and monitoring needs. Urologists must adapt to manage patients effectively and integrate novel therapies into practice for optimal care.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
Background:
- Prostate cancer is a common diagnosis in men.
- 20-30% of localized prostate cancer cases progress to advanced stages.
- Recent years have seen a significant increase in approved treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review medical therapies for advanced prostate cancer approved in the last decade.
- To outline monitoring procedures and early detection methods for these therapies.
- To provide recommendations for integrating new treatments into urology practice.
Main Methods:
- Review of medical therapies approved for advanced prostate cancer.
- Discussion of challenges faced by urologists in adopting new treatments.
- Analysis of monitoring requirements and side-effect management.
Main Results:
- An overview of novel advanced prostate cancer therapies is presented.
- Essential monitoring and early detection strategies are detailed.
- Recommendations for urologist involvement in advanced prostate cancer care are offered.
Conclusions:
- The landscape of advanced prostate cancer treatment is expanding rapidly.
- Urologists play a crucial role in managing patients with advanced prostate cancer.
- Adapting practice models is essential for urologists to remain integral to patient care.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
