Abstract
Genitourinary neoplasms are relatively common and the frequency increases with age. Due to demographic changes more patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases will have concomitant genitourinary tumors or they will develop them under antirheumatic therapy. In such cases, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and immunosuppressive therapy have to be carefully balanced on an individual basis. Based on the limited evidence available large increases in the risks from conventional and/or biological DMARDs for patients with genitourinary malignancies appear to be unlikely for most situations. In addition to these more common situations paraneoplastic symptoms in the musculoskeletal system can occur due to genitourinary malignancies. Moreover, novel drugs with immunostimulating activity for some genitourinary tumors may provoke autoimmune symptoms and thus present new challenges for interdisciplinary cooperation between rheumatologists and uro-oncologists. In this review, the diagnostic procedures, therapies and follow-up of cancers in the field of urology are delineated according to the current German and European guidelines. We describe the core issues that both urologists and rheumatologists should bear in mind. Direct communication, routine exchange and involvement of rheumatologists in interdisciplinary tumor boards should improve future treatment quality of our joint patients.
