What are the four major types of prostate cancer?
After a large number of factual studies, prostate cancer is a very common disease among tumor diseases. It is relatively easy to treat in the early stages of the disease, but if it cannot be treated in time, it will have a great impact on the body, so it is necessary for us to understand some professional knowledge.
One of the four major types of prostate cancer, occult prostate cancer
The patient has no signs or symptoms of prostate disease, but pathology on lymph node biopsy or bone puncture proves prostate cancer.
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.
Two of the four major types of prostate cancer, latent prostate cancer
Refers to adenocarcinoma of the prostate that originates in the prostate gland and is found by pathological examination at postmortem without signs and symptoms of prostate disease before death. Latent carcinoma can occur anywhere in the prostate, but is more common in the central and peripheral regions and is often a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.
Its incidence rate is reported abroad to be 15%~50%. A study by the Institute of Urology of Beijing Medical University in China reported that the incidence 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.
The third of the four major types of prostate cancer is prostate clinical cancer
Prostate cancer is diagnosed by clinical examination (digital, ultrasound, CT, or magnetic resonance, etc.) and can be confirmed by biopsy.Elevated serum pSA and pAp can also be used to aid in diagnosis. In most patients, prostatic nodules can be palpated on digital anal examination, and ultrasonography shows that prostatic nodules are irregular in shape, uneven in echo, and low in echo.
The fourth of the four major types of prostate cancer, incidental prostate cancer
Clinically, benign prostatic hyperplasia is the main symptom, and prostate cancer is found on histological examination in the resection of hyperplastic 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 carcinoma in foreign countries is 10%~30%. The domestic incidence rate has been reported to be about 5%.
This disease of the prostate is the most susceptible in middle-aged and elderly men, and some people do not pay much attention to this aspect of care, in fact, if this disease is sometimes not properly treated, and the treatment is not timely enough, it will easily cause great damage.This condition will be treated in different ways depending on the specific treatment. However, with the warm reminder here, if you can treat and seek medical treatment in the first time, you will receive good results.
