Clinically significant and non significant prostate cancer an ongoing question.
One of the most important problems in urological practice is how to differentiate clinically significant and non significant prostate cancer (Pca) i.e. how to avoid over treatment of tumors with low malignant potential in one hand, and inappropriate less aggressive treatment of significant tumors, on the other hand. At the first place, one should estimate precise local clinical stage and the gr...
متن کاملFormalized prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer: is it possible?
Greater understanding of the biology and epidemiology of prostate cancer in the last several decades have led to significant advances in its management.

Grapefruit juice was reported to increase plasma concentrations of felodipine and nifedipine when the drug was concurrently administered with grapefruit juice (2). The potential clinical importance of such an interaction was noted when cyclosporin...
متن کاملPredicting clinically significant prostate cancer based on pre-operative patient profile and serum biomarkers
Previous studies have reported association of multiple preoperative factors predicting clinically significant prostate cancer with varying results. We assessed the predictive model using a combination of hormone profile, serum biomarkers, and patient characteristics in order to improve the accuracy of risk stratification of patients with prostate cancer. Data on 224 patients from our prostatect...
