2week Wait referralsHaematuria and PSA 11th September 2014 Mr Robert Brierly Consultant Urologist Associate Medical Director Medical Education Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust
Urology Update2WW referrals • Haematuria and 2ww referral • Asymptomatic microscopic haematuria (AMH) • PSA and prostate screening • PSA and 2ww referral • Review of Urology 2ww criteria
Haematuria2 Week Rule • Patients with Frank (visible) Haematuria 25% Cancer • Microscopic (Invisible) haematuria (>50years) 1-8.3% Cancer
Blood in Pee Campaign Blood in Pee Campaign ran from 15th October 2013 to 20th November 2013 Regional Pilots – 28% increase in 2WW referrals Ipswich Hospital – 27% increase in 2WW referrals over 6 week period Pilot 48% increase in bladder and renal cancer diagnoses (Tyneside) To be repeated Autumn 2014
Asymptomatic Microhaematuria(AMH) • A few RBCs can be found in the urine of most normal people • So what is significant? • When to refer • How to follow-up
Significant MicrohaematuriaRBCs / HPF (High powered field)500,000 RBCs/12H = 3 RBCs / HPF No standard • Time of centrifuge • Speed of centrifuge • Volume of resuspension • Volume examined • Definition of HPF AUA consensus 2009
Automated urine analyser • Flow cytometry • Cells per microlitre • 3RBCs / HPF = 16.5 cells IQ200 Analyser
Automated urine analyser • Flow cytometry • Cells per microlitre • 3RBCs / HPF = 16.5 cells IQ200 Analyser Ipswich lowest report category <20 RBCs / microlitre
Dipstick Haematuria • Test for haemoglobin • Oxidation of organic peroxide • Peroxidase activity of Hb • Intact RBCs Punctate • Free Hb Uniform stain
Dipstick Haematuria • Trace can be considered as negative • ≥1+ is Positive
Can you ignore +ve Dipstick and -ve Microscopy? 20% patients significant urinary tract pathology 5% malignancies Lynch T BJU 1994
Repeat Testing • 1000 asymptomatic Israeli airforce personnel • Regular testing 15 years • 38.7% Positive for Microhaematuria Froom BMJ 1984
2ww referral haematuria • Painless macroscopic haematuria any age • Persistent/ recurrent UTI assoc with haematuria (>40years) • Persistent Asymptomatic microscopic haematuria (>50years) • Defined as : 2 out of 3 1+ dipsticks or MSU +ve microscopy done at weekly intervals over a period of 1 month
What about the <50year old? Think about renal disease and monitor BAUS and renal association guideline
Haematuria learning points • Refer all Frank haematuria as 2ww. • Microhaematuria is not uncommon with repeat testing. • +ve dipstick cannot be ignored because of –ve microscopy. • 2ww referral AMH over 50years: 2 out of 3 1+ dipsticks or significant RBCs on microscopy/ MSU done at weekly intervals over a period of 1 month • For <50ys think renal (can always refer as non 2ww)
Prostate Cancer and PSA • PSA Testing and Screening for Prostate cancer. • 2ww referral
PSA A 50 y old fit and healthy male solicitor visits you. He is totally asymptomatic, but has heard about the PSA test and is worried about having prostate cancer. He requests the test, for ‘peace of mind’. There is no Family history. Please advise the patient
What would you do? • A) Refuse the test on the basis that he has no symptoms. • B) Perform rectal examination which is entirely normal and refuse test on this basis • C) Following rectal exam discuss the pros and cons of opportunistic screening and agree to arrange PSA if patient still keen.
Does screening reduce prostate cancer mortality? European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) 29 percent relative reduction in prostate cancer deaths among those screened when compared to those that were not at 11 years (Schroder 2012). The Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovary (PLCO) Trial National Cancer Institute No difference in prostate cancer deaths at 7-10 years of follow-up when comparing those screened to those that were not. (Andriole 2009).
ScreeningERSPC trial 2009 To prevent 1 Prostate cancer death over 10years: 1410 men would need to be screened 48 men treated
PSA • 63 year old fit and well man has longstanding mild lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). DRE moderately enlarged (25cc) smooth benign feeling prostate. Annual PSA for last 3years have been normal around 3.0. • Now PSA 6.1 • What will you do?
Age-related PSA Age (years)Reference range (ng/ml) 40-49 0-2.5 50-59 0-3.5 60-69 0-4.5 70+ 0-6.5
PSA is an unreliable marker • Prostate specific but not cancer specific • Transient rise: • Infection • Ejaculation • Instrumentation • Urinary retention • Non-infective inflammation related to BPH • Bicycles
Fluctuations in annual PSA measurements occur frequently. Isolated elevation in PSA should be confirmed several weeks later. • Eastham , JAMA 2003 • “The PSA level should be verified after a few weeks by the same assay under standard conditions” • EAU Guideline 2014
PSA • 63 year old fit and well man has longstanding mild lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). DRE moderately enlarged (25cc) smooth benign feeling prostate. Annual PSA for last 3years have been normal around 3.0. • Now PSA 6.1 • Urine dip is NAD. • You repeat PSA after 3 weeks 6.0 • Refer as 2 ww
PSA The Diagnostic Triad in Prostate Cancer
All Options Active surveillance
2ww referral for suspicion of Ca Prostate • Any irregular feeling prostate on rectal exam (Please check PSA to accompany the referral). • A raised age-specific PSA with or without lower urinary tract symptoms. For an isolated raised PSA please arrange repeat test after a few weeks before referral. • If there is clinical or bacteriological evidence of urinary tract infection, PSA repeated after treatment might be appropriate. • A high PSA (>20) with symptoms
Learning points • Discuss pros and cons of PSA testing and gain consent before arranging test. • Indications for testing include: • Patient request • Symptoms • Irregular examination • PSA measurements can fluctuate and an isolated rise after excluding infection should have a repeat test after a few weeks before referral.
Adult Female Urinary Incontinence IESCCG pathway George Yardy Consultant Urologist The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust Trinity Park 11th September 2014
local incontinence pathway - treatment • Lifestyle advice for all patients • wt loss if BMI>30 • caffeine reduction • avoid excessive or small quantities of fluid • 6-8 glasses water / day • smoking cessation • 3 day bladder diary • Then categorise incontinence • Stress UI • Overactive Bladder (OAB) with or without urge UI • Mixed UI – treat predominant Sx
local incontinence pathway – OAB treatment • Lifestyle advice for all patients • Bladder retraining / pelvic floor muscle exercises • Patient.co.uk advice page • Drug treatment • More invasive treatments available in secondary care
Drug treatment – NICE CG171, Sept 2013 • First line: • oxybutynin immediate release – not for frail older women • tolterodine immediate release • darifenacin once daily • If first treatment not effective / well-tolerated, offer another drug with the lowest acquisition cost • Offer a transdermal OAB drug to women unable to tolerate oral medication • For guidance on mirabegron for treating symptoms of OAB, refer to Mirabegron for treating symptoms of overactive bladder NICE technology appraisal guidance 290
Mirabegron for OAB, NICE TA290, June 2013 • 1.1 Mirabegron is recommended as an option for treating the symptoms of overactive bladder only for people in whom antimuscarinic drugs are contraindicated or clinically ineffective, or have unacceptable side-effects
More invasive treatments available in secondary care • Sacral neuromodulation • Percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation • Bladder botox injections • “Clam” cystoplasty • Ileal conduit urinary diversion
