The skeletal pain control is a serious problem and it is a great responsibility also for the Urologists especially if the patient has not a short survival time and the quality of life very poor. Physicians feel the need for a systemic, well tolerated and effective therapy also for a long time, uniform and repeatable, able to be efficient for these patients. Strontium 89 chloride seems to offer all those possibilities and to be the best procedure for Urologist, Radiotherapists and Nuclear Specialists in order to satisfy the patients requirements. International research has shown Sr-89 Chloride is a powerful new therapy. Sr-90 Chloride is a radiopharmaceutical product for the treatment of painful metastases from prostatic cancer. It is a new treatment but its effectiveness is well documented and results are reported in the most important international literature. In our Department a clinical research has started and our purpose is to produce more data for a clinical and biological evaluation of the results hoping that a similar research will extend as a multicenter study.</p>","PeriodicalId":8343,"journal":{"name":"Archivio italiano di urologia, nefrologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale dell'Associazione per la ricerca in urologia = Urological, nephrological, and andrological sciences","volume":"64 1","pages":"67-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12738377","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}

A variety of markers have been demonstrated in genitourinary tumors. The best known examples are human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for testicular tumors, prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) for prostatic cancer. The plasma levels of these substances are influenced by the tumor mass and therefore by the tumor stage. Markedly elevated plasma levels can be demonstrated when metastases are present, although a few patients without metastases may elaborate abnormal amount of markers. The removal of the primary tumor leads to a fall to normal levels: a still increased level indicates residual primary tumor or the presence of metastases. Measurements of markers are also of value in estimating the effects of medical treatment and in detecting local or distant recurrences.</p>","PeriodicalId":8343,"journal":{"name":"Archivio italiano di urologia, nefrologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale dell'Associazione per la ricerca in urologia = Urological, nephrological, and andrological sciences","volume":"64 1","pages":"27-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12545917","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}
