TL;DR

This study examines whether black men are more likely to have a more advanced stage or grade of disease diagnosed in prostate carcinoma and investigates the link between race and incidence of the disease.

Abstract

This study suggests that factors other than eligibility for medical care may be responsible for the higher proportion of black men with prostate carcinoma presenting with Stage D prostate carcinoma.

The prostate gland contains three major glandular regions--the peripheral zone, the central zone, and the transition zone--which differ histologically and biologically, and which may at times be confused with carcinoma, especially in biopsy material.

The MDAH System is an improvement over other grading systems in that it is a simple, low‐power microscopic method that depends only on the percentage of gland formation in the tumor and further reflects the biologic behavior of the tumor as measured by the patient's survival.

96 Citations1980B. Helpap

Patients with primary atypical hyperplasia with distinct cellular and structural atypia but without manifest carcinomas in prostatic biopsy or resection material should be followed up at short intervals.

89 Citations1982Peter N. Brawn

A ten‐year period, 1966 through 1975, provided 2842 prostate specimens at The Wesley Medical Center that were classified as adenocarcinoma, adenosis, or (3) hyperplasia, with a follow‐up period of 5–15 years.

It is suggested that PSA levels from patients with untrimmed prostates weighing 80 g or more (equivalent to a 60‐g trimmed prostate) are usually elevated regardless of whether CAP is present, whereas CAP larger than 1 ml usually does not elevate PSA Levels.

The data indicate that there have been improvements in the 5‐year survival rates of both black and white patients, but the prostate cancer‐specific survival of black patients remains significantly poorer than that of whites.

A 76-year-old man with frequency, dysuria, and urinary incontinence underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate, and on microscopic examination, the lesion represents a rare variant of benign prostatic hyperplasia analogous to sclerosing adenosis of the breast.

A retrospective analysis of cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostate seen between 1948 and 1975 showed a difference in age and stage but a similar pattern in survival between groups.

The finding that atypical hyperplasia is common in men between the ages of 20 and 40 years may be helpful in increasing the understanding of the histopathology of the prostate.
