1. Occasional prostate cancer is characterized by benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer is found by histological examination in the resection of prostate tissue. Its histological manifestations are well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, mainly tubular adenocarcinoma and ethmoid reticular adenocarcinoma, and a few are poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas, and the incidence of incidental prostate cancer in foreign countries is 10%~30%. The domestic incidence rate has been reported to be about 5%.

2. The incidence of latent prostate cancer reported in the study of latent prostate cancer was 34%. Statistical studies have shown that the incidence of latent prostate cancer may be related to environmental and genetic factors.

3. Patients with occult prostate cancer have no symptoms and signs of prostate disease, but are confirmed to have prostate cancer by pathological examination of lymph node biopsy or bone puncture. It can be further confirmed by prostate biopsy. These patients have elevated serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (pSA) and prostate acid phosphatase. Biopsies were positive for pSA and/or pAp immunohistochemical staining.

4. Prostate cancer is diagnosed by clinical examination and can be confirmed by biopsy. Elevated serum pSA and pAp can also be used to aid in diagnosis.How prostate cancer is classifiedIn most patients, prostatic nodules can be palpated on digital anal examination, and ultrasonography shows that prostatic nodules are irregular in appearance, uneven and hypoechogenic.

These are the main classifications of prostate cancer. In fact, these types are very common in everyone, but many people do not know how to classify them when faced with them, so that the subsequent treatment will not achieve good results. Hope this can help everyone.
