starting at age ___, avg risk pt should have OFBT annually and colonoscopy every ___ years | 50 yrs old, colonoscopy every 10 |
high risk pts should have colonoscopy for CRC every ____ years | colonoscopy every 5 years |
anemia, metastatic disease, hepatomegally, Bowel obstruction, pulmonary complaints | SE of metastatic CRC |
CRC treatment | surgical resection; chemo (5-fluorouracil) reduce local and distant. monitor CEA levels (norm <2.5ug/L) |
rectal bleeding - what is the workup? list 5 things | CEA (cancer), CFBT (anemia, bleeding) colonoscopy (dx/tx polyps, wall tissue changes - contra diverticulitis), CBC/Hb/Hct (anemia), sed rate (inflammation), rectal exam |
workup for gut cancer specifically (list 5 things) | CT (scan ab/pelvis), FOBT (hidden blood), colonoscopy (tissue samples, dx), tumor markers (CEA), sigmoidoscopy (internal walls of rectum) |
PE for GI (list 5 things) | abdominal exam (mass, peristalsis) guarding/rebound (tenderness) BS (obstruction) |
monitoring CRC | CEA (after sugery; should be low) (screen 50-75). after FOLFOX, CEA performed 6 mon, another colonscopy in 6 mon, 1 yr (if norm every 5 years after) |
CRC staging is based on ____ | biospy, CEA (use Kukes and TNM) |
stage 3 CRC tx | FOLFOX 6 mon |
FOBT screening, Colonoscopy after 50yrs | every 1 yr FOBT, every 5 yrs Colonoscopy. right after proceedure 1 yrs until normal (3-5) |
FOLFOX drugs | fluorouracil (myelosuppression), oxalipiatin (peripheral neuropathy, worsened with cold), leucoxorincalcium folinic acid (neurotoxic) |
increased prostate specific antigen | can be elevated in BPH, does not signify risk factor for cancer |
hx of insomnia, UTI are other complaints of __ | BPH |
etiology of BPH | result of testosterone production can increase likely hood of developement starting in 30s, sx become more real in 50s. |
ultrasound used to r/o cancer in testes, prostate, kidneys. blood tests to measure Prostate specific antigen (not dx), rectal exam to feel boggy BPH, | BPH |
Doxazosin (alpha-blocker) relax smooth muscle in the prostate (SE: dizzy, ejact problems), 5a-reductase (inhibit DHT from converting to testosterone) | BPH |
WBC, burning, obstructive signs, Fever/chills | prostatitis |
E.Coli, Klebsiella, Proteus common = C reactive protein and WBC are high | prostatitis (medical emergency - hospitalize with IV abX) |
prostate massage contraindicated because of sepsis risk | prostatitis |
ciprofloxacin, doxycycline (strong abx that can penetrate the protate capsule) | prostatitis |
BUN:Cr >15 | postrenal azotemia, blockage of the ureters causing hydronephritis |
stone in ureter, pregnancy, hyperplasia, BPH, | risk factors for postrenal azotemia |
