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 ...
total energy intake (as reflected by body mass index) and dietary fat have been incriminated. In addition, there is some evidence that suggests thatobesityleads to an increased risk of having a more aggressive, larger prostate cancer, which results in a poorer outcome after treatment. Nevertheles...
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...
(nearby) lymph nodes to which the cancer has spread. Cancers with specific TNM characteristics are then grouped into stages, and the stages are then assigned Roman numerals with the numerals used in increasing order as the extent of the cancer being staged increases or the cancer prognosis ...

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...
patients will likely die from prostate cancer. Over the past two decades, serum PSA screening has provided a valuable tool for prostatecancer surveillance, however the age-adjusted incidence of mortality has remained relatively constant, therefore new tools are needed to guide prognosis and treatment....
Prognostic indicators of disease outcome are stage, pre-therapy PSA level and Gleason score, higher the grade, and the stage poorer the prognosis.Information on the relationship of diet and prostate cancer is poor. American Urological Association(AUA) recommends screening in those of 55 to 69,no...
Prostate cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of men globally, predominantly in high human development index regions. Patients with localized disease at a low to intermediate risk of recurrence generally have a favourable outcome of 99% over
