Iatrogenic Extraprostatic Extension of Prostate Cancer From a Needle Biopsy
Seeding of prostate cancer along a needle biopsy track is a rare complication. The diagnosis of this presents a significant upstaging of the disease and profound potential changes to the treatment strategy. In this report, we present a 71 year-old male with otherwise low-risk prostate cancer on final pathology except for extraprostatic extension (EPE) along a probable needle track. We further r...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 expression in prostate needle biopsy specimens correlated with aggressiveness of prostatic cancer
Background & Objective: As the prostate adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in males, looking for a marker to effectively predict aggressiveness and metastatic potential in an apparently localized cancer in initial needle biopsy specimens can help the clinicians to make more appropriate decision for treatment, planning, and choosing appropriate ta...
متن کاملPitfalls of Diagnosis of Extraprostatic Extension in Prostate Adenocarcinoma
Extra prostatic extension (EPE) is of the important features to evaluate in pathological assessment of radical prostatectomy specimens. Despite the uncomplicated definition of presence of neoplastic glands outside the prostatic boundary, diagnosing EPE is not always straightforward, the main reason being absence of true capsule around prostate gland. Other confounding findings include intracaps...
متن کاملSerum level of follicle-stimulating hormone is associated with extraprostatic extension of prostate cancer
PURPOSE To determine whether serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can be used to predict the aggressiveness of prostate cancer prior to radical prostatectomy. METHODS Ninety-six patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for biopsy proved cT1c-T2N0M0 prostate cancer between 2003 and 2008 were identified for retrospective analysis. Using univariate regression analysis, potential variable...
متن کاملWell-differentiated prostate cancer in core biopsy specimens may be associated with extraprostatic disease.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Accurate determination of the Gleason score in prostate core biopsy specimens is crucial in selecting the type of prostate cancer treatment, especially for patients with well-differentiated tumors (Gleason score 2 to 4). For such patients, an inaccurate biopsy score may result in a therapeutic intervention that is too conservative. We evaluate the role of Gleason score 2-4...
