The management of locally advanced prostate cancer remains very controversy issue. The incidence of this stage drops due to wide using PSA test and early detection methods. The most common treatment method is radiotherapy with neoadjuvant hormonal blockade, recently radical prostatectomy is performed more and more frequently, especially in low-risk patients. Androgen deprivation therapy is another method of treatment for high risk patients with contraindication for local treatment, with early or deferred initiation.

Acute cases in children arrive to the hospital for urgent treatment as often as in adults. Some of the urological diseases are typical for childhood (paraphimosis). Other, common for the adult age, can be seen in children less commonly (renal colic) or very rarely (priapism). It is very important to make right differential diagnosis of the sporadic incoming illness. It can determine the fate of the affected organ or the life of a patient. In our article we describe rare acute conditions occurring in childhood: priapism, testicular tumors, hematuria due to papillomatous tumor of the bladder and the injury of renal vessel. We present and discuss our...

Diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI) is based on clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. It is not usually easy to make this diagnosis in infants and toddlers and it is necessary to keep the diagnosis of UTI in mind in febrile child. The therapy of UTI respects local bacterial resistance and the rules of rational antibiotic use. Treatment strategy depends on child´s clinical state and age. Children with chronic and recurrent UTI require complex care.

Both urinary and respiratory infections significantly influence the prescribing of antimicrobial agents and, in a feedback manner, lead to developing resistance to them. In most economically developed countries, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second leading type of infections. A reasonable administration of empiric as well as targeted treatment with antimicrobial agents may affect therapeutic costs and potential complications and their treatment. Undertreated or untreated infection is likely to have a prolonged or chronic course, which is also the case with self-therapy based on TV commercials. In addition to higher diagnosis and treatment...

The introduction of prostate-specific antigen has revolutionized the detection and management of patiens with prostate cancer. Despite this there was always been a concern among clinicians about the usefulness of total PSA level as a marker for prostate cancer. We discuss the use of calculated variables and molecular forms of PSA. The precursor forms of PSA have been associated with presence and biological behavior of prostate cancer. With recent advances in biotechnology, e. g. high-throughout molecular analyse, many potential blood biomarkers have been identified. Consequently, the future of cancer prognosis might rely on small panels of markers...
