Clinically localized prostatic carcinoma

Imaging clinically localized prostate cancer.

At this time there is no highly sensitive and specific widespread radiographic test for local staging of prostate cancer. Future developments will likely require a combination of imaging modalities with utilization guided by risk-stratification models (Table 4). Staging data for all imaging tests discussed in this article are summarized in Tables 5 and 6. Clinically, conventional gray-scale TRU...

Primary Localized Vesical Amyloidosis Mimicking Bladder Carcinoma: A Case Report

Amyloidosis of urinary bladder is a rare condition and may be primary or secondary in nature. A case of primary localized vesical amyloidosis (VA) in a 40-yr-old man is described confused with neoplasm by cystoscopic, urographic. Surgical specimens obtained by transurethral resection (TUR) were diagnostic and histologically revealed amyloid deposits in sub-epithelial stroma with chronic inflamm...

Laser Therapy in Localized Prostatic Cancer

Cystic Prostatic Carcinoma

We report a rare case of prostatic carcinoma associated with cystic degeneration. Cystic masses within the prostate are known. Benign cystic masses are more common and include congenital cysts of mullerian duct or mesonephric duct origin. Acquired cysts can be either retention cysts, parasitic or malignant in nature. Cysts accompanying prostatic carcinoma are moreover rare. The acute retention ...

Virtual HDR CyberKnife SBRT for Localized Prostatic Carcinoma: 5-Year Disease-Free Survival and Toxicity Observations

PURPOSE Prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may substantially recapitulate the dose distribution of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, representing an externally delivered "Virtual HDR" treatment method. Herein, we present 5-year outcomes from a cohort of consecutively treated virtual HDR SBRT prostate cancer patients. METHODS Seventy-nine patients were treated from 2006 to 2009, ...
