Urologist‘s position in conception of treatment of urooncology patients
Miroslav Hanuš
Urolog. pro Praxi, 2007; 8(5): 202-204
In recent years, the subject field of individual specialities has narrowed down. The sphere of interest as well as actual care sometimes overlap with the care originally provided exclusively by another discipline. A specific status is ascribed to oncology which is a blending of three disciplines: internal medicine, surgery, and radiology. Nonetheless, a recent Ministry of Health order attributes a dominant position to clinical oncologists. In this new context, a definition of the urologist‘s position is being sought who can both historically and currently diagnose and treat some urooncologic diseases and who would be supposed to continue in this...

The NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) practice guidelines in oncology, in its 2nd version in 2007, slightly changed its recommendations for the treatment of prostate cancer. Some of these changes, which concerns combination external beam radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer, are making both guidelines, European and American ones, almost identical. According to these guidelines, external beam radiotherapy in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in patients with T2c-T4 N0/1 M0 can reduce risk of biochemical and clinical progression. Further more, this combination therapy can improve overall survival...

MUDr. Zbyněk Veselský Ph.D
Urolog. pro Praxi, 2007; 8(5): 223-228
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) together with a cataract is the most common non-malignant male diseases that are manager by an invasive procedure. The incidence is not obvious unequivocally due to the existence of different forms of the disease (histologic, asymptomatic – compensated obstruction, symptomatic). It is generally acceptable, that nearly 40 % of men in their forties are affected by some lower urinary tract symptoms. Because there are additional diseases of both sexes (and logically there is no prostate in women) that can cause identical symptoms the term lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was introduced. In case of prostatic...

doc. MUDr. Jozef Marenčák PhD
Urolog. pro Praxi, 2007; 8(5): 234-239
Paper makes a brief summary of relevant information concerning combination pharmacotherapy in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and informs about indications, effectiveness, adverse effects of various types of combination pharmacological treatment. Diagnosis and therapy of LUTS must be comprehensive and individualized. Combination therapy of an alpha-blocker with a 5alpha-reductase-inhibitor seems to be more beneficial and durable than the monotherapy of either substance in symptomatic men with high risk of progression of benign prostate hyperplasia. Indications for using of combination alpha-blocker + 5alpha-reductase-inhibitor are: symptomatic...
