Purpose: The possibility was investigated whether obesity is associated with a favorable prognosis in men with nonstage A prostatic cancer independent of other risk factors. Materials and Methods: A total of 235 men with nonstage A prostatic cancer diagnosed between 1983 and 1990 at a community ...
Prostate cancer is referred to as stage II when the cancer can be detected by a digital rectal examination (DRE) or an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and there is no evidence that the cancer has spread outside the prostate to other organs. Stage II disease may also be further ...
Localized prostate cancer survival rate.Some92% of all prostate cancers are found when they're in the early stage, called local or regional. "Local" means there's no indication that cancer has spread beyond the prostate. "Regional" means it's spread (metastasized) to nearbylymph nodesor othe...
Over the past two decades, serum PSA screening has provided a valuable tool for prostate cancer surveillance, however the age-adjusted incidence of mortality has remained relatively constant, therefore new tools are needed to guide prognosis and treatment. Research into the genetic origins of prostate...
An investigation of the relationship between blood type and prostate cancer stage, grade and prognosisPurpose: To determine prevalence and patterns of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Study Design: Men, diagnosed with prostate cancer...
Reliable prognostic biomarkers to distinguish indolent from aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) are lacking. Many studies investigated microRNAs (miRs) as PCa prognostic biomarkers, often reporting inconsistent findings. We present a systematic review of th
stage. Key genetic alterations include fusions ofTMPRSS2with ETS family genes, amplification of theMYConcogene, deletion and/or mutation ofPTENandTP53and, in advanced disease, amplification and/or mutation of the androgen receptor (AR). Prostate cancer is usually diagnosed by prostate biopsy ...
Remarkbely, a low percentage of patients with T1 and N0 stage had worse prognosis due to bone metastasis. Metastasis is combined with a multi-step process during which cancer cells, responding to stimuli, detach from the primary tumor, invade the contiguous stroma, migrate over a long distance...
My Dad is suffering prostate cancer Stage 4. It had spread to bone, liver and some other area. He is 77.5 years old. He had received: Hormone therapy Chemotherapy Lutetium LU 177 But his cancer is still spreading. My Dad is a bit weak now, he lost his appetite and is also anaemic....
Survival of Prostate Cancer Patients (n = 223) Cause-Specific Survival by Stage of Disease and Tumor Grade at Diagnosis Disease stages were T0 localized, T0 diffuse, and T1-T2. Grades were as follows: grade 1, highly differentiated; grade 2, moderately differentiated; and grade 3, poorly di...
