Study Notes
- Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-neoplastic enlargement of the prostate, characterized by nodular hyperplasia of the fibromuscular and glandular tissues.
- BPH is a common condition that affects men, causing urinary retention, cystitis, bladder hypertrophy, and hydronephrosis.
- The main symptoms of BPH include hesitancy in initiating micturition, a poor stream, dribbling postmicturition, and frequency and nocturia.
- The cause of BPH is unknown, but it is believed to be related to the levels of male sex hormone (testosterone).
- Digital rectal examination is used to diagnose BPH, which reveals a firm, smooth, and rubbery prostate.
- Treatment options for BPH include medical therapy with alpha-blockers and antiandrogens, and surgical therapy with transurethral resection (TURP).
- Prostate cancer is a common disease that affects elderly men, accounting for 1/4 of all cancers in men.
- The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but it is linked to androgenic hormones and tumour growth.
- Prostate cancer is characterized by adenocarcinoma in the peripheral zone, with a Gleason classification system used for grading.
- Symptoms of prostate cancer include symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction, a hard craggy prostate on rectal examination, and metastatic disease in the bone.
- Diagnosis of prostate cancer involves transrectal ultrasound, prostatic biopsy, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.
- Treatment options for prostate cancer include surgery, hormone manipulation, and radiotherapy.
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is used to monitor metastases and treatment response.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used to define the size and staging of the tumour, and to assess the risk of spreading.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a fibromuscular and glandular hyperplasia that occurs in the lateral and median lobes of the prostate.
- Prostate cancer is a disease of elderly men, occurring in 1 in 10 men over 70 years, and is rare in men under 55 years.
- Family history is a strong risk factor for prostate cancer.
- Prostate cancer can be asymptomatic, with some cases only discovered at autopsy.
