Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
CONT

Little is known about the pathway to diagnosis for patients with cancer, and this is especially the case in lung cancer where the generally held view is that the disease is silent until it is far advanced and therefore late diagnosis is believed to be inevitable. There is evidence to suggest that avoidable delays in diagnosis occur, and these are attributable to both doctor and patient behaviour.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
CONT

Ainsi, une maladie hépatique peut passer inaperçue de façon prolongée ou se révéler tardivement, uniquement au stade des complications (hémorragie digestive, ascite, encéphalopathie...). Cette particularité explique pour une part les diagnostics tardifs.

  • Genitourinary Surgery
CONT

Although there is little evidence that sexual behavior causes prostate cancer, men with prostate cancer often have sexual dysfunction before the cancer diagnosis is made. Each treatment for prostate cancer increases the prevalence of sexual problems. After nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, the chance of recovering erections is better for men who are younger and in whom both neurovascular bundles can be spared. Definitions of potency after nerve-sparing surgery have not specified the rigidity of the erections achieved. Thus, some men classified as potent may wish additional sexual rehabilitation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie génito-urinaire
CONT

Deux attitudes thérapeutiques sont alors possibles : radiothérapie externe ou locale contre prostatectomie radicale chirurgicale; le taux de survie à 10 ans de ces 2 attitudes étant similaires. L'inconvénient majeur de la chirurgie est l'impuissance qu'elle provoque dans plus de 90 % des cas, ce taux chutant à 26 % avec le développement de nouvelles techniques chirurgicales respectant les filets nerveux; on ne connaît cependant pas les résultats à long terme de cette nouvelle procédure.
