6. Epidemiological study of urinary tract stones in a Northern Italian city

Author

Pieri, I., Minari, R., Potenzoni, D., Cantoni, C., Sacchini, P., Prati, A., Savino, A., and Borrini, A.

Abstract

An epidemiological study about stone disease was carried out by mailing a postal questionnaire to 6000 persons; it concerned a sample of the population of the USL n. 5 (Fidenza - PR). This population sample was divided into two groups: those who live on the hills and those who live on the plain. No differences of any kind were found between the two groups. It came out that the incidence of stone disease in the general population is 8%. There was a relationship between stone disease and hypertension and other renal diseases. Stone-formers showed no alimentary difference from non-stone formers. Stone-formers drank more still mineral water than non-stone formers, but only 37% of them drank at least 2 litres a day.

27. Mass screening for prostatic carcinoma and therapeutic options

Author

Minari, R., Cantoni, C., Pieri, I., Sacchini, P., Prati, A., Savino, A., and Potenzoni, D.

Abstract

In western countries, prostatic carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasia in the male sex after pulmonary neoplasia. Its early diagnosis is very important. The authors report the results of a screening for prostatic carcinoma effected in some municipalities of the district of Parma (Italy); 28 prostatic carcinomas were diagnosed (1.2% of the examined patients). Twelve patients were submitted to radical nerve-sparing prostatectomy according to Walsh. In all of them, PSA values decreased to values < 1 ngr/ml, confirming the radicality of the operation and few complications occurred. The conclusion of the authors is that nowadays timely radical prostatectomy is the only “definitive” treatment of prostatic carcinoma, allowing a better quality of life, however long it is.

28. Incidental renal masses: Therapeutic management

Author

Prati, A., Cantoni, C., Pieri, I., Sacchini, P., Savino, A., Arnaudi, R., and Potenzoni, D.

Abstract

Evaluation and treatment of incidental renal masses is a problem facing urologists with increasing frequency since radiologic imaging (Echotomography and CT) has become routine. Traditional treatment by total nephrectomy may be unnecessary for small renal cell carcinoma and is often inappropriate for benign, lesions: whereas only observation by periodic follow-up with imaging studies and/or percutaneous biopsy is not always sufficient. So the problem of management alternatives is very important and no universal strategy can be employed. We report our experience with 15 pts with incidental renal mass treated in different ways.
