“…Even though some of the literature has showed that CP/ CPPS is an important health issue in elder population, [25][26][27][28] the present study failed to observe such an association between CP/CPPS and previous colonoscopy in the elderly (≥60 years old). According to anatomical and physiological changes of the prostate in the elderly, a portion of the pathogenesis of prostate inflammation differs from that in young adults.…”

“…We first excluded all subjects who had a history of CP/CPPS since the beginning of the NHI program in 1995. Thereafter, we selected 3933 controls matched with cases by age group (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and >69 years) and index year. We selected the controls by matching them to a given CP/CPPS case simply due to use of medical services in the same index year of that particular case.…”

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the association between chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and receipt of a prior colonoscopic examination using a populationbased database. Methods: We used the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 to retrieve the study sample. This study included 3933 patients with CP/CPPS and 3933 age-matched controls. We designated the date of receiving the first diagnosis of CP/CPPS as the index date for cases. We defined the first an ambulatory care visit occurring in the matched year as the index date for the controls. Conditional logistic regressions was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for having previously received colonoscopy between cases and controls. Results: We found that 349 (4.44%) of the 7866 sampled patients had previously undergone colonoscopy, including 223 (5.67%) cases and 126 (3.20%) controls (p<0.001). A conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that the adjusted OR of receiving a colonoscopy within three years before the index date was 1.77 (95% CI 1.42-2.23) for cases compared to controls. Furthermore, we found that the youngest group of cases (<40 years) had the greatest adjusted OR for having received colonoscopy within three years before the index date compared to controls (OR 2.81; 95% CI 1.45-5.44); however, in contrast, no significant difference in the adjusted odds of having previously received colonoscopy was observed between cases and controls among the oldest age group (≥60 years). Conclusions: We concluded that there was an association between antecedent colonoscopy and CP/CPPS.

“…Once again these findings, although not meaning causation, confirmed that there is inverse association between CII+ and PCA (4,(7)(8)(9)(10). The subject dealing with PCA associated with chronic inflammation has also been approached by other investigators, who, however, failed to detect any association (11)(12)(13). Our investigation is a single centre study including a large number of patients collected consecutively in an appropriate time of interval (24 months); also, biopsy specimens have been evaluated by a dedicated pathologist, who routinely reports the presence or absence of CII+ in each biopsy core.…”

Moreover, the associations indicated that patients with coexistent CII+ on needle biopsy were 74% less likely to have coexistent PCA than men without CII+ as well as 95% less likely to have HGPCA in the biopsy core than men without coexistent CII+. There were limits in our study which was single centre and included only one dedicated pathologist. Conclusions: There was an inverse association of chronic inflammation of the prostate type IV and risk of PCA; moreover, HGPCA was less likely to be detected in cancers associated with coexistent CII. In prostate microenvironment, prostate chronic inflammation may be protective; however, its role in PCA carcinogenesis remains controversial and needs further research. SummaryNo conflict of interest declared.

Chronic asymptomatic inflammation of the prostate type IV and carcinoma of the prostate: Is there a correlation?

Abstract: No significant correlation between chronic prostatic inflammation and carcinoma of the prostate was detected. Contrary to expectations, a significantly higher score of inflammatory changes was found in BPH patients; also, total PSA levels were lower in the inflammation group.
