Clinical study on prostatic cancer detected incidentally by transurethral resection of the prostate
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) was performed on 463 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between April 1994 and June 2000. Pathological examinations of resected prostatic tissues revealed prostatic cancer in 15 (3.2%) of them. Eight (53.3...

| Zusammenfassung: | Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) was performed on 463 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between April 1994 and June 2000. Pathological examinations of resected prostatic tissues revealed prostatic cancer in 15 (3.2%) of them. Eight (53.3%) of them were in stage A1, and 7 (46.7%) in stage A2. Between 15 cases with prostatic cancer and those with BPH, clinical features including age, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostatic volume, PSA density (PSAD), and resected prostatic tissue weight were compared. As a result, age was the only parameter related with prostatic cancer with a statistically significant difference. The higher the age, prostate cancer was found more frequently. Postoperatively, radical prostatectomy and antiandrogen therapy were performed in 1 and 9 cases, respectively. The remaining 5 cases are being followed with no treatment for prostatic cancer, and have shown no findings suggesting recurrence. These 15 cases are all living disease-free at present. It seems of importance to explain preoperatively the possible detection of prostatic cancer in association with TUR-P, particularly for elderly patients aged 80 years or older |
