LUTS: definition
? Storage (irritative) symptoms:
? Urgency
? Urinary frequency
? Nocturia
? Urinary incontinence
? Voiding (obstructive) symptoms
? Hesitancy, poor stream, terminal dribbling
Causes of LUTS
? Obstructive
? BPH
? Prostate/bladder/rectal cancer
? Bladder neck/urethral strictures
? Antimuscarinic drugs
? Autonomic neuropathy/neurogenic bladder
Causes of LUTS
? Irritative
? BPH
? Bladder/prostate cancer
? Infection
? Bladder stones
? Neurological
? Dementia
? Diabetes
? Stroke
Assessment
? History ? type of LUTS, duration of Sx, how
bothersome are they?
? Examination ? abdomen (distended bladder),
external genitalia, DRE
? International Prostate Symptom Score:
? Used to assess severity of symptoms
? Score of 0-5 for seven symptoms (total 35):
? 0-7 ? mildly symptomatic
? 8-19 ? moderately symptomatic
? 20-35 ? severely symptomatic
Management
? Urine dip +/- culture
? U&E
? Chronic retention
? Recurrent UTI
? Hx of renal stones
? PSA
? Urinary frequency-volume chart
? Ask patient to note down when they drink fluid/pass water
and to comment on type of fluid
? Allows to differentiate between frequency of urine,
polyuria and nocturia
? Obstructive symptoms
? Lifestyle changes.
? Alpha blocker: e.g tamsulosin
? 5 ? reductase inhibitors
? Irritative symptoms
? Exclude/manage treatable causes
? Urine containment devices
? Supervised bladder retraining
? Anticholinergics e.g oxybutinin
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
? Generalised disease of the
prostate due to hormonal
derangement which leads to
enlargement of the gland
(increase in the number of
epithelial cells and stromal
tissue)to cause compression
of the urethra leading to
symptoms

Etiology
? Cause not completely understood
? Reawakening of the urogenital sinus to proliferate
? Change in hormonal milieu with alterations in the
testosterone/estrogen balance
? Induction of prostatic growth factors
? Increased stem cells/decreased stromal cell death
? Accumulation of dihydroxytestosterone, stimulation by estrogen
and prostatic growth hormone actions
BPH facts
? Occurs in 50% of men over 50 and in 80% of men
over 80 have BPH
? BPH progresses differently in every individual
? Many men with BPH may have mild symptoms and
may never need treatment
? BPH does not predispose to the development of
prostate cancer

Carcinoma Prostate
Epidemiology
? Risk factors
? Increasing age
? Family history
? African-American
? Dietary factors.
? Nutritional factors have protective effect against prostate cancer
? Reduced fat intake
? Soy protein
? Lycopene
? Vitamin E
? Selenium
? Race
? Incidence doubled in African Americans compared to white Americans.
? Genetics
? Common among relatives with early-onset prostate cancer
? Susceptibility locus (early onset prostate cancer)
? Chromosome 1, band Q24
? An abnormality at this locus occurs in less than 10% of prostate cancer
patients.
Pathophysiology
? Adenocarcinoma
? 95% of prostate cancers
? Developing in the acini of prostatic ducts
? Rare histopathologic types of prostate carcinoma
? Occur in approximately 5% of patients
? Include
? Smal cel carcinoma
? Mucinous carcinoma
? Endometrioid cancer (prostatic ductal carcinoma)
? Transitional cel cancer
? Squamous cel carcinoma
? Basal cel carcinoma
? Adenoid cystic carcinoma (basaloid)
? Signet-ring cel carcinoma
? Neuroendocrine cancer
Pathophysiology
? Peripheral zone (PZ)
? 70% of cancers
? Transitional zone (TZ)
? 20%
? Some claim
? TZ prostate cancers are relatively nonaggressive
? PZ cancers are more aggressive
? Tend to invade the periprostatic tissues.
Clinical Manifestations
? Early state (organ confined)
? Asymptomatic
? Locally advanced
? Obstructive voiding symptoms
? Hesitancy
? Intermittent urinary stream
? Decreased force of stream
? May have growth into the urethra or bladder neck
? Hematuria
? Hematospermia
? Advanced (spread to the regional pelvic lymph nodes)
? Edema of the lower extremities
? Pelvic and perineal discomfort
Clinical Manifestations
? Metastasis
? Most commonly to bone (frequently asymptomatic)
? Can cause severe and unremitting pain
? Bone metastasis
? Can result in pathologic fractures or
? Spinal cord compression
? Visceral metastases (rare)
? Can develop pulmonary, hepatic, pleural, peritoneal, and
central nervous system metastases late in the natural
history or after hormonal therapies fail.
Detection and Diagnosis
? PSA level
? Helpful in asymptomatic patients
? > 60% of patients with prostate cancer are asymptomatic
? Diagnosis is made solely because of an elevated screening PSA level
? A palpable nodule on digital rectal examination
? Next most common clinical presentation
? Prompts biopsy
? Much less commonly, patients are symptomatic
? Advanced disease
? Obstructive voiding symptoms
? Pelvic or perineal discomfort
? Lower extremity edema
? Symptomatic bone lesions.
Detection and Diagnosis
? Digital rectal examination
? Low sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis
? Biopsy of a nodule or area of induration
? Reveals cancer 50% of the time
? Suggests
? Prostate biopsy
? Should be undertaken in all men with palpable nodules.
Detection and Diagnosis
? Transrectal ultrasound with biopsies
? Indicated when
? The PSA level is elevated
? The percent-free PSA is less than 25%, or
? An abnormality is noted on digital rectal examination
? Type of biopsy
? Sextant biopsies (base, midgland, and apex on each
side)
? Generally obtained
? Seminal vesicles are biopsied in high-risk patients
Detection and Diagnosis
? A bone scan
? Warranted only
? PSA level greater than 10ng/mL
? Computed Tomography or magnetic
resonance imaging
? Abdominal and pelvic CT or MRI is usually
unrevealing in patients with a PSA level less than
20ng/mL. .

Prostate Cancer
Prognosis
? Prognosis correlates with histologic grade and
extent (stage) of disease
? Adenocarcinoma
? > 95% of prostate cancers
? Multifocality is common
? Grading
? Ranges from 1 to 5
? Gleason score
? Definition
? Sum of the two most common histologic patterns seen on each tissue specimen
? Ranges
? From 2 (1 + 1)
? To 10 (5 + 5)
? Category
? Wel -differentiated (Gleason scores 2, 3, or 4)
? Intermediate differentiation (Gleason scores 5, 6, or 7)
? Poorly differentiated (Gleason scores 8, 9, or 10).

Stage T2

if one lobe, T2b if two lobes)
?
Stage T3
? Tumor with extension through the prostatic

involved)

The levator muscles
