Evaluation and Treatment of Overactive Bladder after History of Cancer Treatment

TLDR
Behavioral, medical therapy, botulinum injections, sacral neuromodulation (SNM), percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), and urinary reconstruction will be discussed and an in-depth discussion about each of the treatment options will assist in selecting the optimal treatment.
Abstract
Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is a common condition associated with a lower quality of life. It poses a significant health burden to patients and cost to the health care system. The etiology of OAB symptoms after cancer treatment may be idiopathic or neurogenic. Pelvic surgery and radiation are associated with neurogenic changes that can cause OAB symptoms. Comprehensive evaluation is indicated in this high-risk group. Management of OAB symptoms is patient centered with a focus on initiating therapy with the fewest side effects that are reversible. Behavioral, medical therapy, botulinum injections, sacral neuromodulation (SNM), percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), and urinary reconstruction will be discussed. An in-depth discussion about each of the treatment options will assist in selecting the optimal treatment.

Biochemical Outcome after radical prostatectomy, external beam Radiation Therapy, or interstitial Radiation therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer

TL;DR: Low-risk patients had estimates of 5-year PSA outcome after treatment with RP, RT, or implant with or without neoadjuvant androgen deprivation that were not statistically different, whereas intermediate- and high- risk patients treated with RP or RT did better then those treated by implant.
