  1. How to stage prostate cancer
    -based on serum PSA, DRE findings & Gleason score

    • 1) Serum PSA
    • - <10 ng/ml - low risk
    • - 10-20 ng/ml - moderate risk
    • - >20 ng/ml - high risk

    • 2) DRE findings
    • - non-palpable - low risk
    • - palpable - moderate risk
    • - lesion both side of prostate (hard, irregular, solotary nodule) - high risk

  3. What is Pamberton sign?
    When ptient elevate their hand over the head touching the ears and maintain for 2-3mins, a facial plethora can be identified

    This is d/t obstruction in thoracic inlet such as brachiocephalic causing distension of axillary, subclavian and jugular v. When elevate hand, more blood will flow to those vein causing more congestion

    This can be caused by either lung carcinoma kr large goiter

  18. What is portosystemic anastomosis site
    • Communication between portal and systemic venous system
    • Portal venous system transmit deoxygenated blood from most GIT and GIT organs to the liver
    • If there's blockage in portal system, portosystemic anastomosis enable blood to still reach systemic venous circulation, bypass the liver
    • This is dangerous because liver in charge for detoxification and break down substance in GIT such as meds or poison
  19. Dx for progressive dysphagia solid to liquid
    Oesophageal ca
  20. Dx for progressive dysphagia from liquid to solid
    • Achalasia - relentless LES contraction
    • - solid has higher pull of gravity so lg senang nk pass thru narrowing
    • - bird beak appearance
  21. 5 stages of clubbing
    • 1. Nailbed fluctuation
    • 2. Loss of angle b/w nailbed and fold
    • 3. Increase curvature of the nail
