PD is a connective tissue disorder, characterised by the formation of a fibrotic lesion or plaque in the tunica albuginea, which leads to penile deformity. The aetiology of PD is unknown. Nowadays the most widely accepted hypothesis proposed by Gonzalez-Cadavid et al, is repetitive microvascular injury or trauma to the tunica albuginea. Physicians have proposed several medical alternatives for treatment of this disease with few effective results. Nevertheless, as of today nonsurgical options are currently available, and some of them are able to stabilize or even reduce deformity while improving pain relief and sexual function. A systematic literature search throughout the Medline database was carried out. Thecontrolled vocabulary of the medical subject headings database employs the specific term "penile induratio" for PD. A total of 50 articles on PD were found. Studies were selected based on clinical relevance. The recommended standard of care for PD involves an initial treatment in the acute phase. Several non-operative treatment options have been used. Unfortunately no further substantial, quality evidence on the use of medical therapy currently exits. There is, however, an increasingly enhanced interest in this disorder and basic scientifi c and clinical research will eventually lead to a more effective methodology to study the disease.展开更多

Cancer has many similar characteristics. Antineoplastic drugs can downregulate fibroblast activity and cytokine growth factors. This study evaluates the effect of six antineoplastic drugs on keloid and Dupuytren’s disease fibroblasts. Keloid, normal scar, Dupuytren’s affected palmar fascia, and normal palmar fascia fibroblasts were grown and seeded into Fibroblast Populated Collagen Lattices (FPCLs). The FPCLs were treated with one of six antineoplastic drugs or left untreated as controls. At 7 days, supernatants were extracted from all FPCLs and assayed for expression of Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF)-β<sub>1</sub> and TGF-β<sub>2</sub>. All six antineoplastic drugs significantly inhibited FPCL contraction in both fibroproliferative conditions compared with the untreated controls (p β<sub>1</sub> and TGF-β<sub>2</sub> expression was downregulated in the supernatants of all FPCLs by the drug exposure. Cytotoxicity did not occur in these studies and was not the reason for the results. Although antineoplastic drugs can have significant side effects when given systemically, these results may be minimized when given to small areas involved in fibroproliferative scarring or when given topically or intralesionally. These in vitro results suggest that antineoplastic drugs may have a utility for treating various fibroproliferative disorders and warrant further investigation.展开更多
