4
Risk factors of prostate cancer Advanced age Positive family history Environmental influence Smoking

Male/ female genital homologues Male Prostate Female Urethral glands Paraurethral glands
6
Anatomy of prostate Transmits the prostatic urethra Secretions enter the urethra through minute ducts Blood comes from the internal iliac artery Lymph drains to internal iliac nodes The prostatic venous plexus communicates with the vertebral venous plexus
7
Histology of prostate It is an aggregation of 30-50 small branched tubuloalveolar glands Most of cancer are adenocarcinomas a) well differentiated; b) poorly differentiated; c) non-differentiated.
8
Physiology of prostate Prostatic secretion is rich in: 1)Citric acid; 2)Lipids; 3)Zinc; 4)Acid phosphatase activity
9
Physiology of prostate Androgens Testosterone DHT Androstenedion
10
Diagnoses of prostate cancer Elevated PSA (more than 10ng/ml) DRE Biopsy Gleason histological system
11
Classification of prostate cancer TNM system (plus m) T1 – lesion inside the glandule T2 – lesion deforms the shape of prostate T3 – lesion extends outside the glandule T4 – lesion extends into the other organs N1 – N4
