Peripheral zone (PZ) 70% The back of the gland that surrounds the distal urethra and lies beneath the capsule. About 70–80% of prostatic cancers originate from this zone of the gland. [6] [7] Central zone (CZ) 20% This zone surrounds the ejaculatory ducts. [2]
[47]: 694 In BPH, the majority of growth occurs in the transition zone (TZ) of the prostate. [47]: 694 In addition to these two classic areas, the peripheral zone (PZ) is also involved to a lesser extent. [47]: 695 Prostatic cancer typically occurs in the PZ. However, BPH nodules, usually from the TZ are often biopsied anyway to rule out cancer ...
PIN is more common in men with prostate cancer. High grade PIN can be found in 85 to 100% of radical prostatectomy specimens, [4] nearby or even in connection with prostate cancer. It tends to occur in the peripheral zone of the prostate. With age, it becomes increasingly multifocal, like prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men in over half of the world's countries, and the leading cause of cancer death in men in around a quarter of countries. [91] Prostate cancer is rare in those under 40 years old, [92] and most cases occur in those over 60 years, [2] with the average person diagnosed at 67. [93]
The prostatic urethra, the widest and most dilatable part of the urethra canal, is about 3 cm long.. It runs almost vertically through the prostate from its base to its apex, lying nearer its anterior than its posterior surface; the form of the canal is spindle-shaped, being wider in the middle than at either extremity, and narrowest below, where it joins the membranous portion.
Prostate cancer predominantly occurs in the peripheral zone of the human prostate, with fewer than 10% of cases found in the central zone. The disease develops as a result of the temporal and spatial loss of the basal epithelial compartment as well as increased proliferation and dedifferentiation of the luminal (secretory) epithelial cells.
They are distributed to the prostate seminal vesicle and the corpora cavernosa of the penis and urethra. The nerves supplying the corpora cavernosa consist of two sets, the lesser and greater cavernous nerves , which arise from the forepart of the prostatic plexus, and, after joining with branches from the pudendal nerve , pass forward beneath ...
In perineural invasion, cancer cells proliferate around peripheral nerves and eventually invade them. Cancer cells migrate in response to different mediators released by autonomic and sensory fibers. Tumor cells secrete CCL2 and CSF-1 to accumulate endoneurial macrophages and, at the same time, release factors that stimulate perineural invasion.
