Hodentorsion: Klinische Verzögerung bestimmt das Orchiektomie-Risiko

„Time is testis“ – diese bekannte Maxime bestätigt eine aktuelle US-amerikanische Studie zur pädiatrischen Hodentorsion. Entscheidend ist dabei weniger die gesamte Symptomdauer als vielmehr die Zeitspanne zwischen Eintreffen in der Notaufnahme und operativer Detorsion.

AKT-Blocker verlängert PFS bei PTEN-defizientem mHSPC

Eine Zusatztherapie mit Capivasertib kann das radiologisch bestimmte progressionsfreie Überleben von Männern mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom deutlich verlängern. Im Vergleich zu Placebo wurde in einer Phase-3-Studie ein Vorteil von 7,5 Monaten erzielt.

Gestörte Sexualfunktion fördert Aggression – oder umgekehrt?

Sexualstörungen von Männern wie erektile Dysfunktion und vorzeitige Ejakulation gehen mit gesteigerter Aggressivität einher, wie eine Studie zeigt. In welche Richtung der Pfeil der Kausalität zeigt, ist aber gar nicht so klar.

Hämaturie bei Frauen oft zu spät fachärztlich abgeklärt

Nach einem Hämaturiebefund vergeht vor allem bei Frauen oft zu viel Zeit, bis sie zur Abklärung eines Blasenkarzinoms an die fachärztliche Praxis überwiesen werden. Das legt eine retrospektive US-Studie mit Krebsbetroffenen nahe.
