19. A PAX-8-Positive Female Urethral Adenocarcinoma, Intestinal-Type: A Case Report with Diagnostic Challenges and a Review of the Literature

Author

M. Torrez, Mary, M. Alba, Frances, and Zhou, Jain

Abstract

Female urethral adenocarcinoma (FUA) is extremely rare. It is an aggressive malignancy, and clear cell and columnar/mucinous (“intestinal”) represent the two primary histologic subtypes. Diagnosis is often delayed in patients because of their vague symptomatology; hence, they present with an advanced disease and a poor prognosis. The rarity of FUA brings challenges when determining treatment and management, and treatment guidelines for various stages are lacking. We report an intestinal-type FUA that developed from inflammation-related metaplasia in urethral diverticulum with positive paired box 8 (PAX-8) staining. In addition to intestinal-type FUA being extremely rare, this particular entity exhibiting PAX-8 positivity has not been previously described, to the author’s best knowledge. The present report highlights the importance of clinical and radiological assessment as well as histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features for an accurate diagnosis of this rare and aggressive malignancy.

25. Simultaneous penile prosthesis and male sling/artificial urinary sphincter.

Author

Lee, Dominic, Romero, Claudio, Alba, Frances, Westney, O Lenaine, and Wang, Run

Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) from urethral sphincteric deficiency is not an uncommon problem. The commonest etiology is intervention for localized prostate cancer and/or radical cystoprostatectomy for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Despite advances in surgical technology with robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and nerve sparing techniques, the rates of ED and SUI remain relatively unchanged. They both impact greatly on quality of life domains and have been associated with poor performance outcomes. Both the artificial urinary sphincter and penile prosthesis are gold standard treatments with proven efficacy, satisfaction and durability for end-stage SUI and ED respectively. Simultaneous prosthesis implantation for concurrent conditions has been well described, mostly in small retrospective series. The uptake of combination surgery has been slow due in part to technical demands of the surgery and to an extent, a heightened anxiety over potential complications. This paper aims to discuss the technical aspect of concurrent surgery for both disease entity and the current published outcomes of the various surgical techniques with this approach.

26. Current Status of Penile Rehabilitation after Radical Prostatectomy.

Author

Alba, Frances and Wang, Run

Subjects
*PENIS diseases, *PROSTATECTOMY, *IMPOTENCE, *THERAPEUTICS, *PROSTAGLANDIN E1, *PATIENTS
Abstract

This article discusses the penile rehabilitation and the condition of penis in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). According to several studies, men who underwent RP has experienced a erectile dysfunction (ED) and a decreased penile rigidity and penile length. Factors contributing to post-surgical ED include patient age and adjuvant treatments. The basis for penile rehabilitation is the regular use of treatments for erectile dysfunction after RP, such as intraurethral alprostadil.

28. Quality of Life of Patients on Watchful Waiting for Small Renal Tumors.

Author

Alba, Frances, Parker, Patricia A., and Matin, Surena F.

Subjects
*PATIENT monitoring, *KIDNEY tumors, *QUALITY of life, *HEALTH status indicators, *HEALTH risk assessment
Abstract

The article discusses the noninvasive and nephron sparing approach called watchful waiting (WW) that is being used for patients with small renal masses (SRMs) in relation to their quality of life (QOL). It talks about data presented at the AUA 2013 Annual Meeting by the authors on the influence of illness uncertainty on a patient's QOL. The use of Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS) and Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System-Short Form (CARES-SF) for assessment were also mentioned.
