Prostate Tuberculosis as Predisposition for Prostate Cancer
The prostate is one of the most common sites for cancer and in contrast prostate tuberculosis seems to be a rare disease. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and cancer look like antagonists; based on this principle BCG-therapy for bladder cancer was established. However sometimes tuberculosis may predispose cancer. We present a patient, 72 year of age, who was cured from pulmonary and prostate tubercul...
متن کاملProstate cancer predisposition loci and risk of metastatic disease and prostate cancer recurrence.
PURPOSE Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple novel prostate cancer predisposition loci. Whether these common genetic variants are associated with incident metastatic prostate cancer or with recurrence after surgical treatment for clinically localized prostate cancer is uncertain. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected for stu...
متن کاملGenetic predisposition to early recurrence in clinically localized prostate cancer.
UNLABELLED WHAT'S KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? AND WHAT DOES THE STUDY ADD?: Currently available nomograms to predict preoperative risk of early biochemical recurrence (EBCR) after radical prostatectomy are solely based on classic clinicopathological variables. Despite providing useful predictions, these models are not perfect. Indeed, most researchers agree that nomograms can be improved by incorpora...
متن کاملAndrogen metabolic genes in prostate cancer predisposition and progression.
Significant evidence implicates androgens in prostate cancer etiology. We review recent data with regard to the association between several allelic variants of specific androgen-metabolic genes and the predisposition to prostate cancer. We also review the emerging evidence regarding the role of genetic variants of these genes as well as the androgen receptor in prostate cancer progression. Base...
متن کاملGenetics of cancer predisposition.
Formal genetic analysis of cancer engenders several paradox ical situations: (a) although familial instances are well de scribed, most disease occurs as sporadic isolated cases; (b) even in those cases arising subsequent to inheritance, tumors are focal in nature rather than affecting all cells of a particular tissue; (c) individuals in those families who exhibit high pro pensities to malignanc...
