Obstructive Uropathy in Advanced Prostate Cancer

Le résumé fourni par la source

Objective: The incidence of advanced prostate cancer increases in proportion to new treatment options and prolonged life expectancy.Especially in advanced disease, prostate cancer is a progressive disease that can cause obstructive uropathy.This study investigated the relationship between the characteristics of advanced prostate cancer and obstructive uropathy. Materials and Methods:This study retrospectively evaluated the data of prostate adenocarcinoma patients admitted to the Urology Clinic of Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital between 2017 and 2021.Of them, 48 were advanced prostate cancer patients, and they were all included.All patients in the study received hormonal therapy along with chemotherapy for prostate cancer treatment.The relationship between hydronephrosis and patient age, creatinine and prostatespecific antigen (PSA) values, urinary tract infections, prostate volume, pathological features of cancer, and castration resistance was evaluated.Results: Parameters that we found to be associated with obstructive uropathy (OU) are as follows: high creatinine level at the time of diagnosis of cancer (p<0.001),increase in creatinine at follow-up (p=0.001),urinary infection at the time of diagnosis of cancer (p=0.002) and at follow-up (p=0.003),development of castration resistance during treatment (p=0.038) and high PSA values at the time of diagnosis of prostate cancer (p=0.011).Conclusion: Renal functions should be observed very carefully in advanced prostate cancer patients who develop or are at risk of developing OU.High PSA values and/or castration resistance should be approached carefully in terms of the patients prognosis.It should not be forgotten that their significant relationship with OU has been demonstrated.
