However, BPH nodules, usually from the TZ are often biopsied anyway to rule out cancer in the TZ. [47]: 695 BPH can be a progressive growth that in rare instances leads to exceptional enlargement. [48] In some males, the prostate enlargement exceeds 200 to 500 grams. [48] This condition has been defined as giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH). [48]
Prostate cancer staging is the process by which physicians categorize the risk of cancer having spread beyond the prostate, or equivalently, the probability of being cured with local therapies such as surgery or radiation. Once patients are placed in prognostic categories, this information can contribute to the selection of an optimal approach ...
Prostate cancer is a major topic of ongoing research. From 2016 to 2020, over $1.26 billion was invested in prostate cancer research, representing around 5% of global cancer research funds. [122] This places prostate cancer 10th among 18 common cancer types in funding per cancer death, and 9th in funding per disability-adjusted life year lost ...
The prostate is a small gland found in men, located below the bladder and surrounding the urethra. Its primary function is to produce a fluid that transports sperm during ejaculation.
It is a well-defined nodule of single/separate, closely/densely packed, back-to-back gland pattern that does not invade into adjacent healthy prostatic tissue. The glands are round to oval shaped and proportionally large, compared to Gleason pattern 3 tumors, and are approximately equal in size and shape to one another.
In urologic pathology, atypical small acinar proliferation, is a collection of small prostatic glands, on prostate biopsy, whose significance is uncertain and cannot be determined to be benign or malignant.
In medicine, nodules are small firm lumps, usually greater than 1 cm in diameter. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] If filled with fluid they are referred to as cysts . [ 2 ] Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules .
Corpora amylacea (CA) (from the Latin meaning "starch-like bodies") is a general term for small hyaline masses found in the prostate gland, [1] nervous system, [2] lung, [1] and sometimes in other organs of the body. [3] Corpora amylacea increase in number and size with advancing age, [3] [4] although this increase varies from person to person. [3]
