[Prognostic factor and prediction tables for clinically localized prostate cancer].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To identify the independent prognostic factors of prostate cancer and to develop a table for predicting the probabilities of not-localised prostate cancer occurrence, thus permitting to restrict the radical prostatectomy indication to those patients who have greater probabilities of being cured by the procedure. METHODS 1293 patients with clinically localised prost...
متن کاملSurvival and prognostic factors of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVE To assess survival rates and clinical (pretreatment) prognostic factors in patients with clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. METHODS Hospital cohort including 258 patients registered in the National Cancer Institute, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, from 1990 to 1999. Five- and ten-year survival functions were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier esti...
متن کاملEarly tumor cell dissemination in patients with clinically localized carcinoma of the prostate.
Because a significant number of patients with pathologically organ-confined carcinoma of the prostate subsequently develop recurrent disease, metastasis may occur much earlier than previously believed. We have used a reverse transcription-PCR assay for prostate-specific antigen mRNA and an immunocytochemical staining method for cytokeratins to test this hypothesis in paired peripheral blood (PB...
متن کاملImaging 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...
متن کاملBrachytherapy for clinically localized prostate cancer.
Prostate brachytherapy is an effective treatment option for clinically organ-confined prostate carcinoma. Observed 5- and 10-year follow-up have documented prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels that were comparable to published radical prostatectomy series and were better than several published external-beam radiation series. Between January 1987 and June 1988, a total of 152 consecutive patie...
