Among them are laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, oral cavity cancer, urinary bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The increase in lung cancer incidence and other tobacco-dependent cancers by far outweighs the decrease observed in gastric cancer, leading to a general increase of cancer morbidity among European males. At the end of the century, lung cancer (and other tobacco-dependent cancer localisations) dominates the cancer pattern for European men. In the last decades they became the most frequent cancers for men together with lung cancer. Another localisation illustrating the problem of cancer among males is testicular cancer. It belongs to one of the rarer cancers, but its prevalence has dramatically increased over the last 60 years in most European countries for still unknown reasons. All cause cancer incidence and mortality rates started to fall in the last decades th of the 20 century, followed by a decrease in cancer death rates (Fig. In the male population this phenomenon first started in the late 1980s in Western Europe. In the absolute number of deaths, a decrease is observed only in the under 65 age group; from 223,000 in 1990 to 198,000 in 2008. In the oldest population group, over 65 years of age, the absolute number of deaths continues to steadily increase (from about 400,000 in 1990 to 500,000 in 2008) which is partly the result of the growth of the segment of population over 65 years of age. The incidence and mortality levels for cancer in women began to decrease in th the last part of the 20 Century. The change was significant, although the decline started from a much lower starting point than for the male population. Nonetheless, similarly to men, the general all-cancer trend was the result of declining stomach cancer incidence, increasing lung cancer incidence (although less so than among men), and the increasing risk of breast cancer. A special th case for women is cervical cancer which, in the early 20 century, was along with stomach cancer the most frequent female cancer localisation. At the st beginning of the 21 century with the introduction of population-based early diagnostics, treatment and more recently vaccination it has become an extremely rare cause of morbidity and death in some European countries. The lowest mortality rates are observed in Sweden, Finland, Malta and Luxembourg (Fig. The high-risk Eastern Europe and lower risk Western Europe trend is even less apparent than among men. The male to female profile of cancer deaths changes with age: more young men and boys dying (mainly of cancers related to congenital problems); more women dying in the middle years; more men than women die in older age (Fig. If the sex specific cancers are removed from the data the profile shows a far higher proportion of men dying from other cancers (White et al. The male excess of cancer death rates for non-sex specific cancers persists across the age range. As many of these are not directly associated with tobacco consumption this higher incidence suggests that the problems of men and cancer are not limited to those influenced by smoking, but are affected by other lifestyle factors. It also compounds any problems men may have with accessing services as they are not just more likely to die from the cancer but more likely to develop them as well. Tobacco control policies from the 1980’s have led to a reduction in smoking prevalence, which has led to a persisting decrease in lung cancer morbidity and mortality levels. The decrease in lung cancer incidence began in Western European countries and has spread to Eastern Europe in recent years (Peto et al. Lung cancer death rates in some Eastern European countries are 3 or 4 times greater compared to the lowest incidence rate in Sweden (Fig. It is noticeable that in some countries the female incidence rate is approaching that of males (e. Since that time a decrease in morbidity and mortality among men has been observed (Fig. The decrease began first among young adult males (20-44) and then among middle aged males (45-64), to finally affect the 65+ population. The prevalence of incidence and death adjusted for age fell from 80/100,000 in 1985 to circa 60/100,000 in 2008, recording a decrease of 25%. In this period the largest decrease was observed among the youngest age group (20-44); just over 50%. The mortality rates for young adult men equalised with female mortality rates in the same age group in st the last decade of the 21 century because of the increase in female smoking rates (Zatonski et al. Lung cancer deaths for women in the same year amounted to 70,000 for the entire female population and 23,000 for women under 65 years of age. The sex ratio ranges from 8-10:1 in Latvia, Lithuania and Spain; while it amounts to 0. The age-adjusted lung cancer mortality rates by country among men ranged from 106/100,000 in Hungary to 28/100,000 in Sweden (Fig. This has required the organised efforts of society in restricting advertising and sales to minors. Annually in the European Union 183,000 men and 150,000 women are diagnosed with colorectal cancer: 78,000 men and 67,000 women die from this disease. Its prevalence and preventable nature make colorectal cancer one of the primary focus points of cancer control. Generally, colorectal cancer rates have fallen since the early 1980s in Western European countries. In Eastern Europe, mortality rates were generally higher until the early 2000s, when the rate of increase started to fall, such that the overall reduction is less marked (Fig. However, the mortality rates range from around 48/100,000 in Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic (the highest rates in Europe), through to around 30/100,000 in Slovenia, Estonia and Denmark, to the lowest rates, around 21/100,000 in Sweden, Luxembourg and Belgium, to 16/100,000 observed in Greece and Finland (Fig. The experience in New York, where colorectal cancer preventive programmes were introduced on 238 a population-wide basis, is very encouraging (Frieden et al. In this initiative a ‘get checked for cancer’ had a goal of 60% uptake of over 50 year olds by 2008 and between 2002 and 2006 they saw a 43% increase in uptake. Prostate cancer affects almost exclusively the over 65 age group, which accounts for over 92% of its mortality. Prostate cancer has a higher incidence in certain ethnic groups, most prominently African Caribbean men. The incidence is also higher in first degree relatives where there is an up to 5 times higher risk of developing the disease (John & Houlston, 2003). From the beginning of 1960s, there has been a slight growth of prostate cancer incidence (not mortality). Those significant and dramatic differences in the number of new cancers registered are not reflected in prostate cancer mortality. The reason for this apparent discrepancy is that the majority of prostate cancer cases are slow growing and do not pose an immediate threat to the individual, with many men dying with the disease rather than of it. There is, however, a type of prostate cancer that can occur in younger, as well as older, men, which is more aggressive and leads to a more rapid death if un-detected earlier enough. These ‘tiger tumours’ are very different from the majority of slow growing tumours that affect the majority of men. With our incomplete understanding of the causes of prostate cancer the key to prostate cancer control is the effective diagnosis and treatment of clinical cases. This means investigating symptomatic men with unexplained symptoms of erectile dysfunction, haematuria, back and bone pain and weight loss. It also means better clinical vigilance in ethnic groups such as Afro-Caribbean’s and those men with first degree relatives with prostate cancer and breast and bowel cancer. However, this varies considerably between states ranging from 1 per 100,000 in Turkey to over 123 per 100,000 in Ireland (Fig. Towards the end of the 1990s this trend started to decline in the majority of Western European countries and in the case of countries such as Germany, Belgium or Ireland quite dramatically. This constitutes about 10% of all male cancer deaths and almost 3% of all male deaths. Of the Western European states Sweden and Denmark are noticeable at both having a rate of over 33/100,000, nearly a ? higher than the nearest other Western state. This reduced cancer risk is complex and not fully understood, although it is assumed that changes in diet, 243 including an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption, as well as the introduction of low-temperature technology for food storage and the control of helicobacter pylori infection, are the most important factors for those changes (Howson et al. It seems that similarly to the last 50 years, a further appreciable decline is likely in the near future. However, there is still nearly a 5-fold variation among the countries of the European Union in incidence. The incidence is particularly high in Eastern Europe and in Portugal, and is about twice as high among men than among women, making this still an important health problem in many regions of Europe (Fig.

Despite the high complications of urinary istulae and strictures with revision rates Patients often have different desires with regards up to 88%, to stand to void is often all that is desired to the type of genital surgery and the amount of by some patients and so this method should still be morbidity from scarring that is acceptable to them.

The phallus is often wedged formation or during one of the stages of phalloplasty shaped with minimal sensation and often without depending on the surgical preference. From recent publications of experienced procedure, to allow patients to void in a standing high-volume centers, it becomes obvious that position, although urethral complications can be the more complex the primary procedure, as high as 70% [34]. Despite this, in a series of 85 the more possible complications that occur, female to male patients, a 68% patient satisfaction independent from the surgeon [5,34,39,40]. Partial rate was reported with 16 patients also able to have or total skin necrosis of the phallus is not uncommon penetrative sexual intercourse without the insertion and a third of patients will have a urethral complication of penile prosthesis [34, Figure 6].

There were three other instances of serious adverse events (myocardial infarction, renal cell carcinoma, and epileptic crisis) in one 96 trial. The group designation of the participants experiencing these events were not reported. The rate of 85 96 discontinuation ranged from 0 percent to 3 percent for the 10 mg dose of sildenafil, from 0 137 93,96 85 96 percent to 4. Safety data was not reported for the trial that compared different timing of sildenafil (100 161 157 mg) administration in relation to food and sexual activity. In the trial comparing “nightly” (50 mg) and “as needed” (50 mg to 100 mg) sildenafil dosing regimens, the proportion of withdrawals due to adverse events was similar across the two groups (approximately 7 percent). Overall, more participants experienced adverse events (headache, flushing, dyspepsia, and rhinitis) in the “as needed” compared with the “nightly” group. Reportedly, none of the participants in this trial 157 developed a serious adverse event. All six trials assessing the efficacy of different doses of sildenafil monotherapy (10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg), demonstrated a dose-response trend for sildenafil toward improving erectile function. Although none of these trials provided a formal statistical test for the observed between-arm (sildenafil versus placebo) differences, the degree of improvement tended to increase numerically with a higher dose of sildenafil. In two trials, the corresponding proportion of participants who received 100 mg sildenafil ranged from 84 to 88 78,86 percent. In two other trials the participants’ mean duration of penile rigidity (>80 percent and >60 percent, respectively) in minutes at the base and the tip of the penis was shown to increase numerically with higher doses of sildenafil (10 mg versus 25 mg versus 100 85 mg). In one trial, the mean duration of penile rigidity at the base of the penis for participants receiving 10 mg sildenafil was 3. The ranges for the mean 85,93 duration of penile rigidity (>60 percent or >80 percent) in two trials, were 5. The proportions of participants who achieved grades 3–4 erections in the 25 mg, 86 50 mg, and 100 mg sildenafil groups were 72, 80, and 85 percent, respectively. The mean 36 number of erections per week (grades 3–4) was also shown to be numerically greater in two 93,96 trials. For example, the mean number of erections per week in one trial among participants 96 who received 10 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg sildenafil was 2. In one trial, participants received either a fixed dose (50 mg every night) or a 161 flexible dose (50 or 100 mg, as needed) of sildenafil for 12 months; in the other trial participants were randomly assigned to receive 100 mg/d of sildenafil either 1 hour before/during 157 a meal or 30–60 minutes before sexual activity. In the first trial, the effect of a fixed dose of sildenafil given every night was maintained to a greater extent compared with that achieved with a flexible dosage of sildenafil. In the other trial, the time between sildenafil administration and intercourse attempt (0–0. This review included nine 104-106,112,150,158,162,169,173 trials in which the efficacy and harm of mono- versus combination therapy of sildenafil were compared. The incidence of any 162 104-106,112, 150,158,162,169,173 adverse events were reported in only one of the nine trials. This study reported a higher proportion of participants with one or more adverse events in the combination arm (cabergoline and sildenafil) compared with the sildenafil monotherapy arm (12. In two trials no serious adverse events were reported during the trial 112,173 104-106,150,158, 162,169 period. There were no withdrawals due to adverse events in three of these trials in any of the compared 81,105,112 162,173 treatment groups, and two trials reported higher rates of withdrawals in sildenafil combination therapy than in sildenafil monotherapy. This review included five trials in which the 106,124,132,155,173 efficacy and harms for sildenafil and other active treatment were compared. Among these five trials, the incidence of any adverse event was reported in only one, in which more participants were found to have experienced one or more adverse event in the 40 mg phentolamine treatment group as compared with the flexible-dose (25 124 mg to 100 mg) sildenafil treatment group (41. More patients in the phentolamine group than in the sildenafil group experienced respiratory (17. The most frequent adverse events that 124 occurred during the trial were headache and rhinitis. These events were flushing, chest pain, shortness of breath with tachycardia in one participant, and cerebrovascular event and worsening of existing pterygium in the other two participants. One participant in the sildenafil treatment 124 group experienced a rupture of the Achilles tendon. The rates of withdrawals due to adverse events in participants treated 124 173 with sildenafil in two trials were <1. The corresponding rates for 124 173 participants treated with phentolamine and alfuzosin were 3. Quantitative Synthesis - Meta-analysis of Trials Monotherapy (any dose: 10, 25, 50, 100 mg) versus placebo. Thus, the use of sildenafil was associated with statistically significant improvements with respect to penetration and erectile maintenance frequency (Figures 4–5). This meta-analysis included 80,82,83,86-88,90,95,97,125, 17 trials including two trials reported in Young et al. Sensitivity analysis was performed with respect to the duration of sildenafil treatment. The 80,83,87,97,125,126,137,138,142,151,156 duration of sildenafil treatment in 11 trials lasted 12 weeks. The 90 82 duration of treatment in the remaining trials was 6 weeks, (studies a and b) 8 weeks, 16 95 86,88 weeks, and 26 weeks. The meta-analysis restricted to trials with 12-week treatment did not 2 appreciably affect the magnitude of the effect estimate and the degree of I test for heterogeneity, which decreased from 51. This meta-analysis was based on 16 80,82,83,86-88,95-97,122,125,126,137,142,151,166 trials. This meta-analysis is based on 16 80,82,83,86-88,95-97,122,125,126,137,142,151,166 trials. This meta-analysis is based on 20 80,82,83,86-88,90,95,97,122,125,126,135,137,138,142,151,156,171 trials. Twenty-eight trials of clinically homogenous groups compared the efficacy/safety of 78,79,81,84,91,93,94,98, sildenafil to that of placebo in patients with distinct, specific clinical conditions. The trials were conducted in participants diagnosed 81,93,94,98,101 79,91,115,167 102,109 with diabetes, depression, congestive chronic heart failure, 143,147 108,123 hypertension, or who were on dialysis. Separate meta-analyses for these efficacy outcomes are presented (see Figures 16–19). No meta-analysis for adverse events could be performed, due to a lack of 91 sufficient detail for the adverse events definitions provided in the trials. Note that one trial included younger patients (mean: 45, range 18–55 years) compared with the other trial (mean: 115 53, range 24–75 years). One of the trials used a crossover design; it reported pre- crossover results graphically, without presenting numeric measures of the variability. In the same trial, no participant had any adverse events; therefore, no meta-analysis for adverse events was performed. There were two trials that looked at patients with chronic renal failure on peritoneal dialysis. A meta-analysis for adverse events was also not feasible, since in one 108 of the trials only one event was observed. Meta-analysis was possible for sildenafil versus placebo trials involving hypertensive 143,147 patients using multiple antihypertensive drugs (i. Note that the respective rates in the sildenafil arms were quite similar (73 percent versus 71 percent). The two trials employed similar dosing regimens (from 50 mg to 25 mg or 100 mg) and duration of sildenafil treatment (6–8 143,147 weeks). Meta-analysis of trials comparing different doses of sildenafil (dose-response effect). The dose-response efficacy/harm effect of sildenafil given at a fixed dose (10 mg, 25 mg, 50 78,85,86,93,96,137 mg, and 100 mg) was assessed in six trials. Of these, two trials were conducted in 78 93 clinically distinct groups of participants (those with spina bifida and diabetes ) and therefore were not included in the meta-analysis. Therefore, the meta-analysis exploring the dose-response 86,96,137 effect of sildenafil was based on three trials. The following two pair-wise comparisons were made: 1) Sildenafil 25 mg versus sildenafil 50 mg 2) Sildenafil 50 mg versus sildenafil 100 mg The efficacy and harm outcomes examined in the meta-analysis (i. The latter result may have been due to the small sample of the meta-analysis (Figure 31). Assessment of Publication Bias Funnel plots were generated to assess the extent of asymmetry for each meta-analysis.

Screening intervals should be based on risk, with screening every three months in individuals at high risk (multiple partners, condomless sex, transactional sex/sex work, sex while intoxicated). In practice, transgender people may avoid screening procedures and physical examinations due to fear of discrimination,[3] encountering providers who are inadequately trained in transgender health,[4] or personal discomfort with the visit or exam. Because transgender people differ in hormone use, history of gender-affirming surgical procedures, and patterns of sexual behavior, providers should avoid making any assumptions about presence or absence of specific anatomy; sexual orientation; or sexual practices. To facilitate a respectful rapport, use the patient’s preferred terminology to refer to anatomic parts. The Fenway Guide provides suggested sexual risk assessment questions [6] including: • Are you having sex? These questions are components of a complete sexual history which would include relationship types, frequency of sexual activity, age of sexual debut, use of drugs or alcohol during sex, sex work history, history of sexual abuse, and sexual function. Self-collected vaginal and rectal swabs as well as urine specimens have equivalent sensitivity and specificity to provider-collected samples for nucleic acid amplification testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomonas. Some surgical approaches include the use of urethral tissue, which could result in mucosal infectious such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. The risk of infection of intact, inverted penile skin with these organisms is unknown, though lesions such as a syphilitic chancre, herpes or chancroid are possible. When clinically indicated due to symptoms, a physical examination and appropriate testing should be performed. The anatomy of a neovagina created in a transgender woman differs from a natal vagina in that it is a blind cuff, lacks a cervix or surrounding fornices, and may have a more posterior orientation. The anoscope can be inserted, the trocar removed, and the vaginal walls visualized collapsing around the end of the anoscope as it is withdrawn. There is no evidence to guide a decision to perform routine pelvic exams on transgender women in order to screen for such conditions as [formerly penile skin] warts or lesions. Transgender women who have undergone vaginoplasty retain prostate tissue, therefore infectious prostatitis should be included in the differential diagnoses for sexually active trans women with suggestive symptoms. There is no evidence to guide routine screening for Chlamydia in asymptomatic transgender women who have undergone vaginoplasty, though it is reasonable to consider urinary screening in women with risk factors. The role of vaginal gonorrhea and Chlamydia specimens, as opposed to urine testing only, is unknown in women June 17, 2016 91 Guidelines for the Primary and Gender-Affirming Care of Transgender and Gender Nonbinary People who have undergone penile inversion. Providers may consider vaginal testing however urine testing should be considered essential. Pelvic inflammatory disease should be in the differential for transgender men with a uterus and fallopian tubes who have vaginal intercourse. Testosterone use is associated with vaginal atrophy; therefore, use of lubricant and a small speculum may be appropriate for pelvic and speculum exams among transgender men with vaginas. Some transgender men retain patent vaginas after metoidoplasty and may require vaginal screening based on sexual history.

A common cause of scrotal contents pain in transgender women is “tucking,” which allows a female-appearing genital contour in tight fitting clothing. Tucking involves manually displacing the testes upward in to the inguinal canal, and then positioning the penis and scrotal skin between the legs and rearward toward the anus. Tight underwear, tape or a special garment known as a gaff is then used to maintain this positioning. Many transgender women find this practice to be gender-affirming, and may maintain this positioning even at night when asleep. Prolonged tucking may also result in urinary reflux and symptoms of prostatism or even infection such as epididymo- orchitis, prostatitis, or cystitis. Prolonged positioning of a compressed urethral meatus in close approximation to the anus may also serve as a portal of infection. Pain related to the onset of hormone therapy is a common complaint however the etiology of this symptom is unknown. Acute scrotal contents pain requires a workup to rule out conditions requiring emergency treatment. A physical exam to rule out tumors, hernia, hydrocele or other causes of pain is appropriate. Ready access to transgender surgeries when medically necessary, including orchiectomy and vaginoplasty for the treatment of gender dysphoria, may also minimize this condition. Chronic orchialgia algorithms for non-transgender men often suggest an empirical course of antibiotics (after attempting diagnosing an etiology) and discourage orchiectomy as a last resort measure. Patients often have gender dysphoria and maybe relieved to be offered orchiectomy (as opposed to non- transgender men, who are typically resistant to even unilateral orchiectomy when indicated); orchiectomy may be raised much higher in the treatment algorithm in these cases. When orchiectomy is not indicated, medications used in the treatment of neuropathic pain may be June 17, 2016 93 Guidelines for the Primary and Gender-Affirming Care of Transgender and Gender Nonbinary People useful. Pain related to onset of hormone therapy is generally benign, improves spontaneously, and can be treated expectantly and with reassurance. Providers should not discount testicular pain complaints in transgender individuals, and should avoid any perception that transgender women with this complaint are malingering in hope of obtaining an orchiectomy.

Army staff noticed that drums of Dow 200 silicone lubricant were disappearing from supply rooms, and traced these drums to providers who were injecting the material. By the 1960s, Dow Chemical had introduced a purified medical silicone (Dow 360), intended for use as a syringe lubricant and as a pharmaceutical vehicle. Subsequent off-label use of Dow 360 was associated with a number of poor outcomes, and by the 1970s some laws had been passed banning the use of such injections. The actual composition of the injected substances is often unknown and may not be of medical grade; contents may include aircraft lubricant, tire sealant, window caulk, mineral oil, methylacrylates, petroleum jelly, or other substances. Additionally, attention sterility and techniques to avoid embolization may be lacking. Large events (“pumping parties”) may take place at which many transgender women receive large volume injections. Motivations for seeking soft tissue injections Motivation for receiving the injections may include a strong desire for immediate body changes to relieve gender dysphoria, especially when other modalities of treatment are, unavailable, inaccessible, or perceived as ineffective or slow. The immediate results may encourage community members to recommend the procedures to their peers before any signs of adverse effects appear. A qualitative study of silicone use in transgender women found four contributing factors to this epidemic: poor self-image, misperceptions about silicone, discomfort in public settings (rapid and extensive feminization from silicone helps transgender June 17, 2016 95 Guidelines for the Primary and Gender-Affirming Care of Transgender and Gender Nonbinary People women blend or “pass”), and low access to health insurance. Some patients have survived multisystem failure due to this condition with severe disability as sequelae including loss of limbs. Non-inflammatory nodules may also develop causing pain, itching, and abnormal pigmentation. Long term adverse effects occurring weeks to years after the injection include migration of silicone with associated pain or deformity. Local or remote inflammatory and non-inflammatory nodules may develop; some may evolve in to sterile abscesses or fistulas. Silicone granulomas may develop, with findings of pain, swelling, ulcerations, lymphadenopathy, and possible systemic constitutional symptoms. Biopsy of such lesions shows foreign body granulomas with white vacuoles and surrounding inflammatory cells. Pathogenesis of these lesions may include T cell activation and the presence of biofilms. Other potential complications include secondary lymphedema, telangiectasias and persistent erythema. Diagnosis A detailed history can help identify any prior soft tissue injections, or risk factors for use.
