“…Diagnosis is established by biopsy and the primary modality of therapy is surgery in the form of wide local excision with a safe margin of 3–5 cm in order to achieve R0 resection (microscopically free margin) along with ilio-inguinal block dissection on the affected side [7,8]. The wide local excision in some patients may leave large defects amounting to hemiscrotectomy and the testes on the affected side may either have to be sacrificed for non availability of accommodation or translocated to the contra lateral hemiscrotum facilitating closure of the surgical wound and preservation of testes, as was done in the reported case [9]. …”

Squamous cell carcinoma developing in the scar of Fournier's gangrene – Case report

et al. 2004

BackgroundSquamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum is rare and its development in the scar of Fournier's gangrene is still rarer.Case presentationA 65-year-old gentleman presented with a small non-healing ulcer developing on right hemi-scrotum two years after the treatment for Fournier's gangrene. On histological examination it was found to be squamous cell carcinoma. He was successfully managed by surgery in the form of wide local excision and ilio-inguinal lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.ConclusionsSquamous cell carcinoma can develop in the scar of Fournier's gangrene after a long delay, which differentiates it from other scar carcinomas or Marjolin's ulcer.

“…Squamous cell carcinoma is a neoplasm of the keratinising cells that show malignant characteristics including anaplasia, rapid growth, local invasion and metastatic potential. The treatment recommended for SCC is surgery in the form of wide local excision and block dissection of the draining lymph nodes [6-9]. …”

“…15,22,23 Others do contralateral testicular transposition following a hemiscrotectomy. 24 Local recurrence may occasionally occur and may be due to insufficient tumor resection or may represent new lesions. 9,24 Adjunctive treatment like radiotherapy or chemotherapy or both has not proved useful, and only palliation is usually feasible for late stage disease.…”

Squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum is a tumor that is of interest for clinical and historical reasons. It was the first cancer linked to occupational exposure when, in 1775, Perivall Pott described it in chimney sweeps in England. Other occupations that had a preponderance of the disease included people who worked with the distillates of coal and men exposed to mineral oil. Currently, the disease is very rare and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic irritation. Surgery with a negative resection margin offers the best hope of cure as adjunctive therapy has not proved useful. Prognosis correlates with the extent of nodal involvement.

Japan Society of Clinical Oncology Clinical Practice Guidelines 2017 for fertility preservation in childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer patients: part 1

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In 2017, the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO) published the JSCO Clinical Practice Guidelines 2017 for Fertility Preservation in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Patients. These were the first Japanese guidelines to address issues of oncofertility. In this field of medicine, sustained close cooperation between oncologists and reproductive specialists is essential from the diagnosis of cancer until many years after completion of cancer treatment. These JSCO guidelines were intended to guide multidisciplinary medical staff in considering the availability of fertility preservation options and to help them decide whether to provide fertility preservation to childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer patients before treatment starts, with the ultimate goal of improving patient survivorship. The guidelines are presented as Parts 1 and 2. This article (Part 1) summarizes the goals of the guidelines and the methods used to develop them and provides an overview of fertility preservation across all oncology areas. It includes general remarks on the basic concepts surrounding fertility preservation and explanations of the impacts of cancer treatment on gonadal function by sex and treatment modality and of the options for protecting/preserving gonadal function and makes recommendations based on 4 clinical questions. Part 2 of these guidelines provides specific recommendations on fertility preservation in 8 types of cancer (gynecologic, breast, urologic, pediatric, hematologic, bone and soft tissue, brain, and digestive).
