evaluation of plasma interleukin-8 concentration in patients with prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: prostate specific antigen (psa) has been used as a screening test for the early detection of prostate cancer (pc) for many years. although the introduction of psa test led to a considerable increase in reported prostate cancer cases, there is still some controversy over the sensitivity and specificity of this marker in distinguishing pc patients from those with benign prostate hyperplasia (bph), the most common benign prostate condition. objective: an attempt is made to elucidate if the plasma level of interleukin 8 (il-8) could be used effectively as a marker for the detection of prostate cancer. methods: plasma levels of il-8 and psa were measured in two groups of 40 bph and pc patients using enzyme-linked immunosorbent (elisa) and radioimmunoassay (ria) techniques, respectively. in addition il-8 levels in pc3 and du145 cell line supernatants were measured by elisa technique. results: the concentration of il-8 in the plasma of pc patients was not significantly higher than the bph subjects. although, a correlation between plasma il-8 concentration and the gleason score of pc patients was found, no indicated correlation was detected between the concentration of il-8 or psa and age of the patients in both groups. du145 and pc3 cell lines produced and secreted il-8 in the media. conclusion: data of this investigation collectively conclude no correlation between il-8 concentration in pc and bph patients.

prostate cancer is the second common form of cancer in men. detection of circulating prostate specific antigen (psa) transcripts has effectively been used for early diagnosis of prostate cancer cells. this investigation employed a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) technique to distinguish the patients with either localized or metastatic prostate cancer (cap) vs. benign pr...
متن کاملComparative analysis of resected prostate weight in diabetic and non-diabetic benign prostatic hyperplasia patients
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign tumor in men. The etiology of BPH is still unresolved and multiple systems are likely to be involved. The effects of diabetes on urinary system are a risk factor for BPH. We then assessed the effects of diabetes on the parameters related to BPH, especially weight and volume. Methods: This study was conducted on patients...

متن کاملThe impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia on bladder volume in radiotherapy of prostate cancer
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease among older men and many patients with prostate cancer (PC) also have BPH. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is one of the important treatments for PC, nevertheless, few studies have analyzed the effect of BPH on EBRT. We tried to know the risk of bladder toxicity by analyzing the bladder volume variability in patients with...
