Clinical significance of proliferative inflammatory atrophy in prostate biopsy.
INTRODUCTION Proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA) is a frequently observed lesion in prostate biopsies and some authors have postulated its involvement in prostate carcinogenesis. However, the mechanisms that would permit its neoplastic transformation and the clinical significance of its finding in a prostate biopsy is currently not well known. OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 is up-regulated in proliferative inflammatory atrophy of the prostate, but not in prostate carcinoma.
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is the inducible isoform of the rate-limiting enzymes that convert arachidonic acid to proinflammatory prostaglandins as well as a primary target for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Accumulating evidence suggests that up-regulation of COX-2 is associated with carcinogenesis in multiple organ systems including the large bowel, lung, breast, and prostate. In this re...
متن کاملTopographic and quantitative relationship between prostate inflammation, proliferative inflammatory atrophy and low-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia: A biopsy study in chronic prostatitis patients
Inflammatory processes are important components in the pathogenesis of many human cancers. According to the 'injury and regeneration' model for prostate carcinogenesis, injury caused by pathogens or pro-inflammatory cytotoxic agents would trigger proliferation of prostatic glandular cells, leading to the appearance of epithelial lesions named 'Pro...
متن کاملMorphologic transitions between proliferative inflammatory atrophy and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
OBJECTIVES To validate with an independent study that simple atrophy/postatrophic hyperplastic lesions (proliferative inflammatory atrophy [PIA]) often merge directly with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). METHODS Using radical prostatectomies (n =14), all high-grade PIN and adenocarcinoma lesions were identified. We examined the two-dimensional topographic relationship be...
متن کاملAnti-oxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anti-proliferative Effects of Aqueous Extracts of Three Mediterranean Brown Seaweeds of the Genus Cystoseira
Seaweeds have caused an emerging interest in the biomedical area, mainly due to their contents of bioactive substances which show great potential as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-tumoral drugs. Despite the diversity in quality and quantity of the Mediterranean Tunisian coast flora, with its large contains of marine organisms and seaweeds, most of them have not yet been ...
