The aim of this study was to detect the differences in 90K/Mac-2BP expression in prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal prostate tissues, as well as to study the significance of 90K/Mac-2BP in the early diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Comparative proteomic technologies were used in the present study. Total protein from 10 cases of prostate cancer, benign prostatic ...

OBJECTIVES Prostate cancer is the world's leading cause of cancer and the second cause of cancer-related death in men after lung cancer. Differentiation of prostate adenocarcinoma from benign prostate lesions and hyperplasia sometimes cannot be done on the basis of morphologic findings. Considering the fact that in the prostate adenocarcinoma there is no basal cell layer, basal cell markers can...

Craniofacial skeletal metastasis is a rare presentation of advanced prostate cancer. This is a report of a 69-year-old man who presented with numbness of the right lower lip and recently ill-fitting lower denture. Based on the medical history of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and suspicion of a metastatic tumor, prostate core needle biopsy was performed. Histology of the prostate biopsy con...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease that impairs the well-being of many aged men. To alleviate BPH symptoms or to find a cure for this disease, key molecules should be identified that control prostate cell proliferation. Recently, HIF-1alpha has attracted attention in this context, because it is highly expressed in hyperplasic prostates and prevents prostate cell death. Thus, given ...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign hyperplasia of prostate gland cells of the urethra affecting increasing population. The most common method of treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). But many complications may occur including intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage, prostate perforation, urinary incontinence and bladder neck contracture. Transurethral ballo...

Middle-aged men presenting with symptoms of voiding dysfunction are often misdiagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stenosis or neurogenic bladder. Here, we report a rare case of a 46-year-old man with a chief complaint of continually voiding dysfunction, diagnosed with giant multilocular prostatic cysts. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed multiple and large multilocular prost...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign hyperplasia of prostate gland cells of the urethra affecting increasing population. The most common method of treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). But many complications may occur including intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage, prostate perforation, urinary incontinence and bladder neck contracture. Transurethral ballo...

Dutasteride is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase and commonly used to treat symptoms benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
 Objective: determine efficacy safety dutasteride in terms indicators that are important clinical practice.
 Data sources. The literature was searched using search «prostate hyperplasia», hypertrophy», «dutasteride», «quality life», «adverse dr...

BACKGROUND Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is a new MRI technique which has been proved very useful in the diagnosis of brain diseases, but few study was performed on its value in prostatic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of SWI in distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia and detecting prostatic calcification. METHODOLOGY/PRINC...
