Local Prostatic Hyperthermia is a 8 year old procedure that has been used for treating benign prostatic hypertrophy, chronic non bacterial prostatitis and prostatic carcinoma. We treated 80 patients affected by benign prostatic diseases who referred to our Clinic from November 1990 to December 1991.
200 patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with hyperthermia: 100 cases through the rectal approach and 100 through the urethral approach. Subjective symptoms were assessed as well as nycturia and objective data, urinary flow and postmicturition residue before treatment
The authors have used local hyperthermia in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The "Promeditech" device consists of a computer-controlled microwave hyperthermia system which warms up the prostate through a probe inserted into the rectum. Forty-three patients aged from 57 to 81
A total of 15 patients with severe symptoms of prostadynia who were refractory to therapy were treated with transurethral microwave hyperthermia (TUHT) in a phase I trial. All patients had pain as the predominant symptom, 9 (60%) patients gave a history of psychological problems while frequency,
This study includes our first 100 patients who received local prostatic hyperthermia treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Subjective symptoms such as nycturia, stream, urgency, and objective facts like urine flow and postmicturition residue were monitored before treatment and 3 months after.
A total of 20 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent transrectal local hyperthermia. For heating of the prostate gland, the PROSTATHERMER (Biodan-Medical System, Israel) was used. Patients were treated twice weekly, for 1 hour, with 6 sessions on an outpatient basis. Four of the 20
A total of 21 patients with biopsy proved benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent treatment on a pilot protocol involving intracavitary transurethral radiating microwave (630 or 915 MHz.) antenna hyperthermia. Acute and subacute toxicity was mild and consisted primarily of bladder spasm (26% of the
A total of 116 patients aged 51-84 with prostatic adenoma were exposed to local hyperthermia (LHT) using "Thermex II" generator (Thechnorex, Israel). The analysis of the results involved 4 patient groups: group 1 (34 patients) had nycturia > 3 times, residual urine > 50 ml, uroflowmetry index > 8
OBJECTIVE
The treatment of non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) continues to be a challenge. Hyperthermia (HT) combined with intravesical chemotherapy is used to enhance the effects of chemotherapy.
METHODS
A review of the publications was carried out to synthesize the adverse effects (AE)
OBJECTIVE
A retrospective study to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of interstitial hyperthermia (IHT) combined with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as the initial treatment for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, and as a salvage therapy in previously irradiated patients with local
Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of urinary bladder is a rare type of bladder tumor and carries a very high mortality rate. It may have a clinical presentation similar to common diseases like benign prostatic hypertrophy and the management options are extremely limited. We report a case of
Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of urinary bladder is a rare type of bladder tumor and carries a very high mortality rate. It may have a clinical presentation similar to common diseases like Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) and the management options are extremely limited. We report a case of
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present retrospective study is to evaluate toxicity and early clinical outcomes of interstitial hyperthermia (IHT) combined with high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy as a salvage treatment in patients with biopsy-confirmed local recurrence of prostate cancer after previous
Lupus cystitis is a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is characterized by an increase in bladder wall thickness and may be associated with hydroureteronephrosis. Reports, mostly from East Asian countries, indicate that lupus cystitis usually presents with gastrointestinal
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of indwelling urinary catheter on frequency of intraprostatic tissue infection and posto-perative morbidity in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).
METHODS
Frequency of intraprostatic tissue and urinary
