Diet:Dietary factors may influence the risk of developing prostate cancer. Specifically, 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...
There are differant stages of prostate cancer you may go through during the progression of your treatment. The main differance between the prostate cancer stages is the cancer’s size, and the locations it has spread to, from inside the prostate gland to the rest of the body. The TNM (Tum...
Reports on revisions in the American Joint Committee on Cancer's tumor, node metastases (TNM) staging system that affects the staging of two urologic cancers. Revision of prostate and kidney cancer st...
Prostate cancer is comprised nearly always of adenocarcinomacells -- cells that arise from glandular tissue. Cancer cells are named according to the organ in which they originate no matter where in the body we find such cells. Thus, if prostate cancer cells spread in the body to the bones, ...

The TNM staging is the most widely used system for prostate cancer staging and assesses the extent of primary tumor (T stage), the absence or presence of regional lymph node involvement (N stage), and the absence or presence of distant metastases (M stage). ...
While prostate cancer can grow quickly and spread, more often it grows slowly and may remain within the prostate gland for years (localised cancer). In its early stages, the disease has no symptoms. However, as the cancer develops, it can invade and damage the surrounding tissues, or spread...
There are 4 main T stages of PCa: T1 to T4. T1 can be divided into T1a (the cancer is less than 5% of the removed tissue), T1b (5% or more of the removed tissue) and T1c (cancers are found by biopsy, after a raised PSA level). T2: the cancer is completely inside the ...
We previously presented nomograms combining preoperative serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), clinical (TNM) stage, and biopsy Gleason score to provide the likelihood of various final pathologic stages at radical retropubic prostatectomy. The data for the original nomograms were collected from men ...
