Received December 30, 1999; accepted March 15, 2000. This conference on artificial neural networks (ANNs) provided an opportunity to explore current and future strategies for the prediction of outcomes for patients with prostate carcinoma. For example, it is necessary to improve the selection process for prostate biopsy for a patient with clinical factors that raise the suspicion of prostate ca...

Introduction: Alpha-methylacyl-CoA-racemase (AMACR) is a tumor marker expressed in prostate cancer. Literature data concerning its expression in different variants and unusual patterns of prostate carcinoma are uneven and less numerous. The present study investigates the AMACR expression in some rare forms of prostate carcinoma. Material and methods: Distinct variants and unusual patterns of pr...

Urologists and pathologists have focused more and more on the anatomic structures of the human prostate gland and their relationship to prostate carcinoma development and prognosis since the resurgence of radical prostatectomy in the late 1980s. The accessibility of whole-mount slide preparation in the study of the prostate has greatly simplified this analysis. This chapter concentrates on the ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of Cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) using MTT and neutral red assays. The crude aqueous extract of C. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on PC-3 cell line. Dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma PC...

BACKGROUND To make the difference between two uncommon entities, small cell prostate carcinoma and prostatic metastasis of small cell lung cancer. METHODS We describe a case of single extrapulmonar metastasis in the prostate from small lung carcinoma. RESULTS We describe a case of single extrapulmonar metastasis in the prostate from small lung carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Clinical and radiograp...

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a very slow progressing disease of the male reproductive system. High levels of Prostate specific antigen in the serum are might be an indication of either prostate cancer or some conditions like Benign prostate hypertrophy.The Diagnosis is confirmed by histological examinations of biopsy, trans urethral prostate resection or by aspiration cytology.METHODS: A tota...

BACKGROUND Monocarboxylate transporter 2 (MCT2) is a transmembrane protein involved in the transport of monocarboxylates such as pyruvate and lactate. In a previous study we described overexpression of MCT2 in prostate carcinoma raising the hypothesis of using MCT2 as a possible biomarker in prostate cancer. With the present study we aimed to compare the pattern of expression of MCT2 and alpha-...
