Cribriform carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer that is characterized by gland formation with a cribriform growth pattern, which resembles a sieve-like structure. It is often associated with high Gleason scores and is more common in younger men. Cribriform carcinoma is considered to be a variant of acinar adenocarcinoma and typically…

Arsi prostate cancer is a less prevalent and aggressive form of prostate cancer defined by the presence of specific genetic alterations, including AR-V7, which drives tumor growth and resistance to androgen deprivation therapy. It is associated with a higher risk of metastases and poorer prognosis compared to conventional prostate cancer. Targeted therapies aimed at inhibiting…

전립선은 남성 생식계의 중추적인 기관으로, 전립선암의 심각한 위협에 노출되어 있습니다. 호르몬적 영향이 전립선암의 발병과 진행에 중요한 역할을 하며, PSA 검사, MRI, 생검을 통한 진단이 필수적입니다. 전립선암 치료에는 수술, 방사선, 약물 치료 등 다양한 옵션이 있으며, 환자와 가족을 위한 지원 그룹과 옹호 활동이 중요합니다. 지속적인 연구 노력을 통해 전립선암 치료법 개발이 진행되고 있습니다. Prostate: The Central…

Prostate size cm refers to the measurement of the prostate gland’s dimensions using imaging techniques like transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). It is a common parameter assessed during prostate examinations to evaluate its enlargement, which can be associated with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. The cm measurement helps determine the severity of prostate…

Transurethral Laser Vaporization of the Prostate (TUVP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a high-energy laser to vaporize enlarged prostate tissue. Guided by a fiber laser passed through an endoscope, a vaporizing fiber is inserted into the prostate, where it emits laser energy to vaporize the obstructive tissue. TUVP can alleviate urinary symptoms…

PARP inhibition is a promising therapeutic approach in prostate cancer, targeting DNA repair pathways. PARP inhibitors, such as Olaparib and Niraparib, exploit genetic defects in DNA damage response genes, particularly BRCA1/2 mutations. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer patients with these genetic biomarkers. Combination therapies with PARP inhibitors and…

An abscess of the prostate is a rare but serious condition that occurs when a collection of pus forms in the prostate gland. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection, and symptoms can include fever, chills, pain in the groin or rectum, and difficulty urinating. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and drainage of the abscess….

Fluid in the endometrium refers to an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the lining of the uterus. It can be detected through imaging modalities such as ultrasound and MRI. The presence of endometrial fluid can be associated with a range of underlying conditions, including hormonal imbalances, endometrial polyps, adenomyosis, and endometriosis. It can provide valuable…

Endometrial cells, originating from the lining of the uterus, can sometimes be found on Pap smears. The presence of endometrial cells, especially columnar cells, may indicate abnormal conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer. Understanding the normal function and structure of the endometrium is crucial. Diagnostic tools like Pap smears and endometrial biopsies help detect…

Endometriosis, a condition characterized by endometrial-like tissue growth outside the uterus, is primarily associated with females. However, in rare cases, males can also develop endometriosis-like lesions, known as extrapelvic endometriosis. These lesions may occur in various locations, such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, and other pelvic structures. While the exact cause of male endometriosis is…

Endometriosis in the pelvis occurs when endometrial-like tissue, which normally lines the uterus, grows outside of it, typically within the pelvic cavity. This misplaced tissue can attach to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, and other structures in the pelvis. Endometriotic implants may bleed during menstrual cycles, causing irritation and pain. Over time, endometriosis can lead…

Endometriosis on stomach wall is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows on the stomach lining. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, and gastrointestinal issues. Diagnostic tests include laparoscopy and biopsy. Treatments involve medications, hormonal therapies, and surgery. Risk factors include a family history of endometriosis and certain medical procedures. Complications can include infertility, gastrointestinal…
