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 ...
The categorization suggests a poor prognosis without intervention, Gounder said, but there are treatment options available that can help. Moreover, Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis came with the presence of bone metastases, meaning the disease has spread. It places him within the high/very high-...
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...
What is the prognosis for stage IV prostate cancer? The prognosisfor advanced cancer depends on many things, including where the cancer has spread, how fast it's spread, and how well treatments work for you. Your doctor will consider the stage of your cancer as well as your individual situa...
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
Prostate cancer is a major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. Intra-prostatic inflammation is a risk factor for prostate carcinogenesis, with diet, chemical injury and an altered microbiome being causally implicated. Intra-prostatic inflammatory ce
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 ...
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...
