1
Prostate Cancer Dr .Gehan Mohamed
2
Prostate Cancer Common in men older than 50; ranks high as cause of cancer death
3
Risk Factors Environmental factors (diet, saturated fats)
Genetic factors(family history) 2.4 times increased risk ( if first degree relative had cancer prostate) Geography/race: More in african,american due to high level of testosterone
4
Pre cancerous lesions High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia = high grade dysplasia : is a condition in which some of the prostate’s epithelial cells look abnormal under the microscope. Epithelial cells are the cells that line the tiny sacs in the prostate and the ducts that carry fluid in the prostate
6
High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
7
Presentations of CANCER Prostate
1- Asymptomatic , Incidental pathological finding 2- Urinary irritative and obstructive symptoms 3- abnormal DIGITAL RECTAL EXAMINATION / raised PSA level(47%) . 4- Metastatic symptoms bone pain,Pathological fractures,anorexia ,spinal cord compression etc.
8
Prostate Cancer—Signs and Symptoms
Hard nodule in periphery of gland Detected by rectal exam urethral obstruction As tumor develops, some obstruction occurs Hesitancy, decreased stream, urinary frequency, bladder infection
9
Digital rectal examination (DRE)
YOU CAN DETECT Abnormal nodules, hard spots, enlarged prostate.
10
Prostate biopsy Performed during transrectal ultrasonography.
Random biopsy 6-10 are taken to get a representative sample of prostate. Possibility of infection,give prophylactic antibiotic.
11
Triad of diagnosis,--(PSA_DRE_BIOPSY)
12
Prostatic adenocarcinoma showing the prostatic glands lined by one TYPE of malignant cells
13
Prostatic adenocarcinoma showing the prostatic glands lined by one TYPE of malignant cells.
14
Prostate Cancer—Diagnostic Tests
2 helpful serum markers Prostate-specfic Antigen (PSA) Useful screening tool for early detection Prostatic acid phosphatase Ultrasound and biopsy confirms. TO DETECT ANY DISTANT METASTASIS DO : 1- Bone scan 2- CT abdomen/pelvis 3- Chest x-ray
15
Prostate Specific Antigen
Protein produced by cells of prostate gland Elevated indicates possible Carcinoma prostate PSA : 4 – 10 ng /ml , indicates 25-35% risk of cancer diagnosis PSA : 10 – 20 ng /ml indicates 65% risk of cancer diagnosis PSA : > 20 ng /ml indicates possible metastatic disease
16
Staging of prostatic adenoCarcinoma ,TNM system
Clinical inapparent tumor not palpable or visible by imaging T2 Tumor confined to prostate(palpable or visible by imaging) T3 Tumor extending through prostatic capsule T4 Tumor fixed or invading adjacent structure other than seminal vesicle
17
Lymph node staging Metastasis N0-no lymph node involved
N1-lymph node involved Metastasis M0- no metastasis M1-distant metastasis present
18
Metastatic prostatic carcinoma to vertebral column
19
Gleason's scoring system
Settled by Dr Donald Gleason 1976 Based on microscopic tumor pattern assessed by pathologist while examining ,GS is based on degree of loss of normal architecture of gland. Technically it is tumor grade.
20
Gleason's grades , a histolopathological specimen into 5 grades.
21
Gleason's scoring system
Gleason's grade - primary grade: represent most prominent grade i.e more than 50% of sections examined Show this grade. - secondary grade : represent second predominant pattern Gleason's score = primary grade + secondary grade.
