چکیده
Due to recent improvements in the diagnosis of prostatic diseases pathologists are confronted with an increase in prostatic specimens as well as an increase in the spectrum of prostatic diseases that have to be differentiated. In the past few years, various diagnostic methods have been added to the clinical routine: determination of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), transrectal ultrasound and the ultrasound guided systematic high-speed punch biopsy technique. Suspicious lesions can now be detected very early and are clarified by an increasing number of prostate biopsies.

True Incidence of Gleason 6 Pathology in Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).
INTRODUCTION Recent evidence from histology studies regarding random prostate biopsies hint toward a relationship between higher biopsy Gleason score and the development of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, prostate biopsy underestimates final pathology in about one-third of patients. We evaluated the final whole gland pathology from radical prostatectomy exclusi...
متن کاملStudy the Expression of CD10 in Prostate Carcinoma and its Correlation with Various Clinicopathological Parameters
Background and Objective: Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is the second most common cause of cancer. The loss of CD10 is a common early event in human prostate cancer and is seen in lower Gleason Score malignancies while increased and altered expression is seen in high Gleason Score tumors, lymph nodes and bone metastasis. Material and Methods: This was a ...
متن کاملSolitary Fibrous Tumor of the Prostate: A Diagnostic Challenge: A Case Report
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of prostate is an unusual type of mesenchymal neoplasm that can elicit a benign or malignant phenotype. It represents a diagnostic challenge as it can simulate poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and various mesenchymal neoplasms of prostate. We report a case of prostate SFT in a 54-year-old patient, which was clinically misdiagnosed as nodular hyperplasia of prost...
متن کاملMolecular Status of BRAF Mutation in Prostate Adenocarcinoma: The Analysis of 100 Cases in North-East of IRAN
Background and Objective: BRAF mutations were studied in various populations for prostate carcinoma (PC); however, mutations in BRAF gene are unusual compared to KRAS. Oncogenic activating of BRAF mutations were studied lately in almost 0%-10% of prostate cancer cases. Methods: In this retrospective study, we gathered 100 formalin-fixed ...
متن کاملDifferentiation Of Granulomatous Prostatitis From Prostate Carcinoma
Background and Objective: Non-specific granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon diffuse inflammatory condition of the prostate. It is important because it may be mistaken for prostatic carcinoma. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis (NSGP) and comparing the results of transrectal ultrasonography, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) ...
متن کاملMolecular alterations in prostate cancer as diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets.
Prostatic adenocarcinoma is extremely common in Western nations, representing the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. The recent application of increasingly sophisticated molecular approaches to the study of prostate cancer in this "postgenomic" era has resulted in a rapid increase in the identification of somatic genome alterations and germline heritable risk factors in this ...
