we evaluated the predictive value of the risk factors, considered in this paper, for death from other causes (censoring at death from prostate cancer). Only age was a strong predictor, and none of the known factors for prostate
We reviewed our experience with the management of men 70 to 79 years old with clinically localized prostate cancer to determine whether surgical candidates were likely to die of intercurrent disease soon after the disease was diagnosed. Of 101 men in the eighth decade of life who were surgical ...
We analyzed patients with histologically proved adenocarcinoma of the prostate to determine the natural history of prostatic cancer in men less than 45 years old. The mean age of the patients was 41 years (range 36 to 44 years). At presentation 5 patients were asymptomatic, 5 had voiding sympt...
In February 2013, I have posted a similar case,Prostate-Bone Cancer– Part 1: PSA Came Tumbling Down: From 6,963 to 200 and Severe Pains Vanished.This is the story of a 72-year-old man from Surabaya, Indonesia. His prostate cancer had spread extensively to his back bone. I have the ...
Case Presentation: A 74-year-old man with a new diagnosis of locally advanced prostate cancer is referred to the cardio-oncology clinic for optimization of his cardiovascular health after treatment with degarelix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist, for his prostate cancer. ...
Previous studies showed that advanced age is the primary risk factor, with more than 75% of all prostate cancers diagnosed in men aged 65 years old4. Geographic variation may be attributed to the different incidence rates around the world. For most men, prostate cancer is slow-growing, does ...
In the prostate cancer study, no effect was detected for total vitamin A or ascorbic acid in men less than 70 years old, but a direct association of vitamin A only with a dose-response gradient was found for men 70 years or older (odds ratio = 1.87; P less than .05, for the ...
The second region was restricted between markers D8S1128 and D8S131 separated by 12 cM. The results suggest the existence of two chromosome 8p sites for candidate TSGs in prostate cancer. 展开 关键词: CHROMOSOME 8P LOH MICROSATELLITE PROSTATE CANCER TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENE (TSG ...
The role of steroid hormones in carcinogenesis of the prostate is to some extent unraveled thorough the effect of androgen deprivation therapy on prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Other members of the steroid hormone family, such as progesterone, are also implicated in PCa, but progesterone’s rol...
Systemic metabolic alterations associated with increased consumption of saturated fat and obesity are linked with increased risk of prostate cancer progression and mortality, but the molecular underpinnings of this association are poorly understood. Here
