Zusammenfassung

Gegenwärtig machen CUP ca. 2–6% aller malignen Neoplasien aus. Trotz meist intensiver Diagnostik werden nur bei ca. 10–25% der Patienten mit CUP-Syndrom die zugrunde liegenden Primärtumoren zu Lebzeiten des Patienten festgestellt. Bei der Diagnosestellung liegt in >80% der Fälle bereits eine disseminierte Erkrankungssituation vor. Die Prognose für Patienten mit CUP-Syndrom ist prinzipiell schlecht. Allgemeinzustand und Alter sind wichtige prognostische Faktoren, ebenso die Art der Metastasierung. Der histologische Subtyp spielt prognostisch nur eine untergeordnete Rolle, ist aber wegweisend für die weitere Diagnostik und Therapie.
Patienten mit lokal begrenzter Erkrankung haben in aller Regel eine günstigere Prognose, in Ausnahmefällen besteht die Aussicht auf Resektion mit kurativer Intention. Prognostisch ungünstig ist ein CUP-Syndrom mit primär disseminiertem Organbefall und einem biologischen Alter von >70 Jahren oder reduziertem Allgemeinzustand.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

Alphablocker schützt vor Miktionsproblemen nach der Biopsie

Welche Antibiotika darf man bei unkomplizierter Zystitis verwenden und wovon sollte man die Finger lassen? Welche pflanzlichen Präparate können helfen? Was taugt der zugelassene Impfstoff? Antworten vom Koordinator der frisch überarbeiteten S3-Leitlinie, Prof. Florian Wagenlehner.

Viel pflanzliche Nahrung, seltener Prostata-Ca.-Progression
