Pathology and bio markers of prostate cancer

Abstract: This session included ®ve presentations in the areas of pathology of precursor lesions and carcinoma of the prostate, the value of determining neovascularity in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer, new`molecular' markers, correlation between pre-and postoperative Gleason scores and a study dealing with transition zone PSA density. The abstracts and talks are summarized in the next few pages.Keywords: prostate cancer; prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia; pathology; molecular markers Pathology of premal… Show more

“…Histologically, the atypia observed in HGPIN is virtually indistinguishable from that of prostate cancer except that in HGPIN the basal membrane is still intact (Sakr et al, 1999). As HGPIN progresses, the likelihood of basal cell layer disruption increases.…”

“…Several genetic changes encountered in prostate cancer cells can be found in PIN lesions . Allelic loss is common in PIN and prostate cancer (Sakr et al, 1999 (Baltaci et al, 2000). As in prostate cancer, there is also evidence of aneuploidy and an increase in microinvascular density, both frequently regarded as evidence of aggressiveness in PIN (Montironi et al, 1993).…”

“…Additionally, with prostate tumors usually showing multifocal growth behavior [14], a significant number of cancer foci remains undetected during prostate biopsies, and tumor aggressiveness is often underestimated [14,15].…”
