conclusions regular resistance training and prostatic massage can improve proinflammatory markers and psa levels in men with pc. results in the resistance training group, il-10 levels significantly increased after four (p = 0.055) and eight weeks (p = 0.000). four and eight weeks of resistance training showed a significant reduction in psa, crp, il-6, and tnf-α levels (p < 0.05). patients of ma...

Introduction: CSCs have been identified in prostate cancer (PCa), one of the most diagnosed malignancies in men over the world, for which radiation resistance is a major problem in the treatment of advanced stages. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have the ability to self-renew and differentiate to give rise to heterogeneous phenotype of the tumor cells. It is believed that CSCs are ...

Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...

background: cytochrome p450 plays an important role in pharmaceutical metabolism, steroidal hormones and procarcinogens. cyp1a1 is an enzyme, which is very active in the formation of reactive mediators or injurious agents for dna. the aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence rate of genetic polymorphism rs 1048943 gene cyp1a1 in men diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to a control gr...

Objective(s): BONENAVI, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. This system provides the artificial neural network (ANN) and bone scan index (BSI) values. ANN is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while BSI is related to the amount of bone metastasis. The degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. Therefore, t...

best treatment option, although, there is no common consent on optimal therapy for advanced prostate cancer. case presentation: the present study reports a case of 75 year-old man who had a huge heterogeneous soft tissue mass lesion with non-homogeneous enhancement consisted low attenuated foci occupying pelvis cavity and lower abdomen with loss of mesenteric fat and invasion to posterior bladd...

in the recent years, interstitial brachytherapy implantation has become the treatment of choice for early stage prostate cancer patients. treatment of prostate cancer with radiation is traced back to 1909. originally this treatment modality was very crude and could not gain much popularity till 1982. advancements in radioactive source designs, introduction of new low energy radioactive sources,...
