Prostate gland carcinoma

Cyproterone is used to control sexual attraction in men in cases of sexual deviations, as well as for inoperable prostate gland carcinoma. In women, it is used for severe cases of androgenization, and in children with idiopathic premature sexual maturity. Synonyms of this drug are cyprostat, androcur, daian, and others. 

The anabolic steroids are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the dni, liver disorders, or serious cardiac disease, and in men with prostate gland disorders (eg, prostate carcinoma and prostate enlargement). The anabolic steroids are classified as Pregnancy Category X dru and should not be administered during pregnancy and lactation. Anabolic steroids are contraindicated when used to enhance physical appearance or athletic performance...

Wellmann et al. (2002) also examined prostate carcinoma with the aid of laser-assisted microdissection and SELDI to analyze protein extracts from about 500 cells. A number of differentially expressed proteins in the 1.5- to 30-kDa range were found between normal prostate gland cells and prostate tumors. A prominent (threefold) up-regulated protein peak at mass 4299 Da was observed for prostate tumor cells. The average relative intensities were 24.37 for tumor cells, 9.99 for transitional zone cells, and 7.26 for normal prostate cells.

Prostate carcinoma confined to the prostate gland can be definitively treated with radical radiation therapy. Accurate assessment of the success of tumour clearance after radiotherapy is of clinical importance to improve selection of patients for local treatment and to identify patients who would benefit from aggressive salvage therapy.70 As such, there is a pressing need for a precise early measure of tumour response.

The normal prostate is composed of acinar secretory cells arranged in a radial shape and surrounded by a foundation of supporting tissue. The size, shape, or presence of acini are almost always altered in the gland that has been invaded by prostatic carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma, the major pathologic cell type, accounts for more than 95% of prostate cancer cases.15 Much rarer tumor types include small cell neuroendocrine cancers, sarcomas, and transitional cell carcinomas.

Gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (34) (also known as BRST-2) recognizes a protein originally derived from breast carcinoma but is also found in other carcinomas, such as from sweat glands and prostate.
