SHOW NOTES
In this episode of BackTable Urology, urologic oncologist Dr. Aditya Bagrodia joins our host Dr. Jose Silva to discuss the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of testicular cancer.
The episode begins with an algorithm for initial work up of a testicular mass – scrotal ultrasound and tumor markers – and reviews the pre-orchiectomy timing of additional imaging and when more advanced imaging modalities like MRI or contrast-enhanced CT might be clinically useful. Dr. Bagrodia then walks through his surgical technique, highlighting practical tips to avoid common frustrations and complications. The pair also discuss operative technique and optimal timing for placement of testicular prostheses, as well as the role for partial orchiectomy in patients prioritizing fertility preservation and androgen production.
Dr. Bagrodia discusses indications for adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, with a focus on avoiding over-treatment in these young patients and opting for observation when appropriate. He reviews surveillance protocols based on pathological stage, then walks through the management of recurrent and metastatic disease with an emphasis on the importance of multidisciplinary care.
The episode ends with an overview of Dr. Bagrodia’s current research, microRNAs. He reviews the sensitivity and specificity of these unique microRNAs in testicular cancer, explaining their potential to truly individualize care by correctly diagnosing equivocal tumors and identifying residual or recurrent disease.
