Iatrogenic Extraprostatic Extension of Prostate Cancer From a Needle Biopsy

چکیده
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 review the relevant literature regarding this rare but important complication with prostate needle biopsy.

Endothelin-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 کاملSkeletal muscle involvement by limited Gleason score 6 adenocarcinoma of the prostate on needle biopsy is not associated with adverse findings at radical prostatectomy.
PURPOSE Skeletal muscle involvement by prostate cancer is considered to be ambiguous for extraprostatic extension when it is found at the apex, where benign prostatic glands naturally blend with the skeletal muscle of the rhabdosphincter. We investigated the significance of skeletal muscle involvement by cancer in needle biopsies in predicting adverse outcomes at radical prostatectomy. MATERI...

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...

OBJECTIVE Prediction of extraprostatic disease in clinically localized prostate cancer is relevant for treatment planning of the disease. The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of the percentage of positive biopsy cores to predict the chance of extraprostatic cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 1787 patients with localized prostate cancer submitted to radical prostatec...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of perineural invasion in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.
PURPOSE Perineural space invasion (PNI) is an important mechanism for progression of cancer through the prostatic capsule, the prognostic significance of PNI remains controversial. The purpose of the present study was to assess the prognostic significance of PNI between prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy (RP) samples of patients affected by clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa).
