Abstract

Objective: To evaluate patients' and partners' satisfaction with a prostate cancer survivorship program embedded in urologic-oncologic care. As a part of quality improvement activity, we developed a patient and partner-centered, biopsychosocial support program for men and partners coping with the urinary and sexual side-effects of surgical treatment for prostate cancer. The program became a part of usual care for all prostate cancer patients., Methods: Patients who saw both an advanced practice provider and a sex therapist between August 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019 were eligible. Surveys packets were sent to 146 patients with surveys included for partners (N = 292). We used descriptive statistics to characterize participant responses., Results: Responses were received from 88 patients and 70 partners (56% response rate for the group). Patients and partners reported very high or fairly high satisfaction with the rehabilitation activities of the program (86-97% and 90%-100%, respectively); 91% of patients and 84% of partners thought having pre-operative education and post-operative rehabilitation was a good or fairly good idea; 83% of patients and 79% of partners would very much or somewhat recommend the program to a friend who was considering surgical treatment for prostate cancer., Conclusion: Embedding a patient and partner-centered prostate cancer survivorship support program in oncologic care can positively impact patients' and partners' engagement in and satisfaction with post-operative rehabilitation., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

We describe four adolescent cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor involving the genitourinary system. Two patients with masses of the urinary bladder presented with gross hematuria. The third patient presented with left flank pain and a mass encasing the left ureter causing hydronephrosis. The fourth patient presented with a painless, growing palpable mass of the left hemiscrotum. Currently, no standards exist for the management of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors. Herein, we discuss the work-up and treatment approaches taken in each case., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
