Background: Different studies assessed the role of inflammation in malignancy of different organs. Prostatitis has been suggested as a cause of cancer and BPH. Till now, more than 100 types of human Papilloma virus (HPV) are recognized including low and high-risk groups for carcinogenesis. Among them HPV-16 and HPV-18 have shown further association with cancer. Regarding the pr...

Background and Aims: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers among men in Iran. Since changes in the regulation of proto-oncogenes expression are the main causes of most human cancers, including PCa, evaluating the expression of marker genes can be helpful for early diagnosis of cancer and better understanding of its etiology. The present study compared c-Myc expression level in...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore further a new minimally invasive method in order expand the surgical options for treating patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia as well evaluate efficacy and safety endovascular superselective embolization arteries hyperplasia. Material methods: group included 43 hyperplasia, aged 56 90 years. carried out period from February December 2019...

A major difference between the prostate and other accessory reproductive glands is the susceptibility of the prostate to hyperplasia in again men. Indeed, benign hyperplasia of the prostate (BPH) affects most males over 60 years of age and causes enlargement of the inner gland. When the urethra becomes constricted, treatment is required to relieve the kidney and circulation system of the damagi...

androgenic alopecia as a physiologic process and benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) as a pathologic process in the older population are androgen-dependent processes influenced by 5-alpha reductase enzyme which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. this cross sectional study was done to evaluate the relationship between androgenic alopecia and bph. 150 men older than 50 years old, who pr...

BACKGROUND Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is a new MRI technique which has been proved very useful in the diagnosis of brain diseases, but few study was performed on its value in prostatic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of SWI in distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia and detecting prostatic calcification. METHODOLOGY/PRINC...

The overall 5-methylcytosine content of DNA from normal, benign hyperplastic, and neoplastic human prostate tissue was analyzed. DNA methylation levels were significantly lower in prostates with benign prostatic hyperplasia and metastatic tumors. In contrast, nonmetastatic prostate tumor DNA had a 5-methylcytosine content essentially the same as in normal tissue. The results suggest a correlati...

The overall 5-ntethylcytosine content of DNA from normal, benign hyperplastic, and neoplastic human prostate tissue was analyzed. DNA methylation levels were significantly lower in prostates with benign prostatic hyperplasia and metastatic tumors. In contrast, nonmetastatic prostate tumor DNA had a S-methylcytosine content essentially the same as in normal tissue. The results suggest a correlat...
