[PSA levels and its relationship with digital examination, age, and score of prostatic symptoms].

Between November 1992 and March 1993 our Service conducted a campaign for early detection of prostate disease among the male population of Vigo. The study focused in the relationship of PSA with the age, rectal examination and prostate symptomatology score. In view of the results obtained it has been concluded that PSA levels increase gradually as a function of age, volume and prostate symptomatology score.

[Cushing syndrome caused by macronodular hyperplasia ACTH-independent].

Case report of a 49-year old male patient who presented with signs and symptoms in agreement with Cushing's Syndrome, the etiology of which was shown to be an ACTH-independent macronodular hyperplasia. In such cases, the therapeutical choice is bilateral adrenalectomy which was adopted by us using a posterior approach. The relevance of the clinical diagnosis and therapeutical aspects of this condition are reviewed.

[Conn's syndrome].

Adrenal hypertension is an uncommon phenomenon. When seen in association with hypokalemia the existence of primary aldosteronism, the most frequent cause of which is an adenoma of the adrenal gland cortex, should be suspected. This paper contributes one case of primary aldosteronism treated by unilateral resection of the adrenal adenoma, with no surgical complications and good medium-term results.

[Acquired cystic renal disease. Association with hypernephroma].

Emergence of multiple bilateral renal cysts observed in patients undergoing periodic haemodialysis is 40%. The pathology, known as Acquired Cystic Renal Disease (A.C.R.D.) presents a high association to renal cancer. Two cases of A.C.R.D. and their association with hypernephroma, one resulting in secondary retroperitoneal haemorrhage and the other in intracystic haemorrhage, are presented. Forms and diagnosis are analyzed, insisting upon the need of monitoring the patients in haemodialysis from the point of view of tumour emergence.

[Adenocarcinoma in bladder. Apropos of a case].

Finding an adenocarcinoma at the vesicle suggests three possible diagnosis: Intestinal adenocarcinoma with vesical location. Adenocarcinoma of the urachus. Vesical primitive adenocarcinoma. Presentation of one case of intestinal adenocarcinoma, revealed by its mictional symptomatology, with the endoscopic appearance of being a single vesical tumour, later shown to be a vesical adenocarcinoma, on which extended surgery of the gut and partial surgery of the bladder was performed.

[Radical surgery of locally advanced prostatic cancer].

Retrospective study in 51 patient with locally advanced prostate cancer (34 pT3 and 17 N+) selected from 88 radical prostatectomies performed between February 1985 and December 1993. An evaluation is made of the clinical/pathological stage correlation and the effectiveness of the different diagnostic methods (61% of understaging). The possibility to rescue locally spread tumours is analyzed, 7/51 (13.72%) patients receiving pre-operative neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. Estimated survival at 8 years was 82.6% of all patients treated with radical surgery and, at the end of the study, the situation of 30/46 (65.2%) patients assessed by digital rectal examination, quality of life index, PSA follow-up, abdominal ultrasound and/or CT, bone scan and chest X-ray, was an estimated 8-year disease-free evolution. It is observed that radical surgery and the post-surgical hormonal approach permit good survival in locally advanced prostate cancer and that the use of a neoadjuvant hormonal approach permit good survival in locally advanced prostate cancer and that the use of a neoadjuvant hormonal approach allows in many cases the rescue of patients for radical surgery.
