Investigating the effects of Sea anemone (Stichodactyla haddoni) mucus on prostate cancer PC3 cell line

Background & Aim: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers of the male urinary system and is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. In the present study, the effects of Stichodactyla haddoni on the viability of prostate cancer cells (PC3) were investigated. Methods: In the semi experimental study, sea anemones were sampled at random using an identification key. T...

Hepatic metastases of prostate adenocarcinoma

Between 2004 and 2006, 50 radical prostatectomies were performed in our department, 46 of them through a laparoscopic approach addressed to early stage cancer (T1a,b,c and T2a,b,c N0 M0). We present the case of a 63 year old patient, who was initially diagnosed with prostate cancer in T1bN0M0 stage, Gleason score 8 and later presented atypical hepatic and trocar site metastases. This particular...

Cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic Effects of Spirulina Platensis Extract on PC-3 Prostate Adenocarcinoma Cell Line

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, with an increasing incidence and mortality rate. In the present study, cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects of spirulina platensis extract on PC-3 prostate adenocarcinoma cell line were investigated. Methods: In the present experimental study, the PC-3 prostatic cancer cells were treated in four experimental   with 400, ...

Urothelial-type adenocarcinoma of the prostate mimicking metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Adenocarcinoma arising in urinary bladder or prostatic urethra is uncommon. When they occur, the tumor can be mistaken for metastatic lesions, especially from the colon. Here we report the fifth case of a primary urothelial-type adenocarcinoma arising in the prostate which showed enteric differentiation. The patient was a 55 year-old male whose prostatic needle core biopsy showed a high grade a...
