Prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN) is considered a precursor of invasive carcinoma, characterized by proliferation and anaplasia of cells lining prostatic ducts and acini. In this study, we applied the PIN grading system on one-hundred cases of prostatic carcinoma and one-hundred cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, then compared the results. 74% of prostatic carcinoma and 51 % of...

background: prostate cancer (pca) is an important health problem in the aging male population in the world. it is the third most common cancer in the world. despite of its importance, relatively little is known about its etiology. sexually transmitted infections (sti) and urogenital pathogens such as mycoplasma and ureaplasma, have been proposed as a risk factor for prostate cancer development....

thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by agnor (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!tijr) or needle biopsy of the prostate. in this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated...

PURPOSE We reviewed the evidence that benign prostatic hyperplasia is a progressive condition and men at risk for benign prostatic hyperplasia disease can be identified, treated and protected to a meaningful extent regardless of symptom status. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MEDLINE database was searched in 4 areas of interest relating to benign prostatic hyperplasia, including 1) progression of c...

The metabolism of plasticizing phthalates may correlate with an increased risk benign prostatic hyperplasia in humans. Diethylphthalate (DEHP) and its metabolites interfere sex hormone function, causing inflammation oxidative stress at low doses. effects contribute to the development prostate hyperplasia.
