As the average paternal age rises, there is a significant population of men with hypogonadism seeking testosterone therapy wishing to achieve or maintain fertility potential. Identification of potential lifestyle modifications that may improve the testosterone deficiency is one of the initial interventions of the holistic strategy in treatment. This is followed by drug therapy; however, traditional testosterone therapy acts as a contraceptive by suppressing the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and therefore cannot be used as a treatment strategy. A solution has been the off-label use of selective estrogen receptor modulators, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and anastrozole inhibitors to treat hypogonadal symptoms while increasing intratesticular testosterone, a necessity for spermatogenesis. Recently, a novel therapy, Natesto intranasal testosterone gel, has been shown to increase serum testosterone levels while maintaining semen parameters. This is hypothesized to be because of its short-acting properties having lesser effect on the HPG axis, in contrast to the long-acting properties of traditional testosterone therapy. It is important to differentiate hypogonadal men between those seeking to achieve or maintain fertility status because the drug therapy of choice differs. This can be accomplished by determining the levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), because it is a biomarker for intratesticular testosterone. Those with low 17-OHP may wish to initiate treatment with alternative therapies, whereas those with high 17-OHP may trial short-acting testosterone therapies. As the urologist's armamentarium continues to increase, better strategies to increase testosterone levels in men seeking fertility can be achieved.</p>","PeriodicalId":23366,"journal":{"name":"Turkish journal of urology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38513662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and methods: This prospective case–control study enrolled 67 participants between January and March 2019 and were categorized into bladder cancer group (n = 37), with histologically proven bladder cancer, and control group (n = 30), with histologically verified benign lesions or with no bladder cancer indication during follow-up. Urine samples of 15 mL were collected in the mid-morning before cystoscopy/surgery and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Bladder malignancies were classified according to the World Health Organization Tumor Classification. Group’s associations were evaluated with the Student t-test, Spearman’s rank correlation, and Mann–Whitney U test, while receiver operating curve was plotted for assessing the test’s performance. Results: Mean age of the bladder cancer group was 66.41 years (standard deviation = 10.04, range = 43-82 years) and the control group was 59.67 years (standard deviation = 10.44, range = 38-77 years). All bladder cancers were of the urothelial histotype, with the following pT distribution: pTa/papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (n = 19; 28.4%), Primary tumor (pT) in situ (n = 4; 6%), pT1 (n = 7; 10.4%), and pT≥2 (n = 7; 10.48%). Mean AHNAK2 levels were higher in bladder cancer patients 49.08 pg/mL (standard deviation = 114.91) compared to controls 5.28 pg/mL (standard deviation = 6.65), P < .05). Significant differences were noted between non-invasive bladder cancer (n = 23; mean = 7.14 pg/mL; standard deviation = 7.26) and invasive bladder cancer (n = 14; mean = 117.99 pg/mL; standard deviation = 168.08) and between non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (mean = 23.19 pg/mL; standard deviation = 66.93) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (mean = 160.05 pg/mL; standard deviation = 199.65) (P < .001). The result of the assays was given as follows: sensitivity: 64.19%, specificity: 66.67%, positive predictive value: 22.07%, negative predictive value: 92.37%, area under curve: 0.695, and 95% CI: 0.57-0.82.
