Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Prostatic carcinoma is an important growing health problem, presenting a challenge to urologists, radiologists and 1,2. pathologist Prostate cancer is the leading cause of new cancer in men and is second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of 3 cancer-related deaths in men . Methods: Conventional haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining was done in all the 100 cases of benign as well as malignant lesion of prostate and their histological typing was correlated to PSA level. Results: A total of 100 cases were studied, which were in the age group of 50-90 years. Benign prostatic hyperplasia was the commonest lesion. Malignancy was diagnosed in 12 patients and all cases were adenocarcinoma. Benign lesions were having PSA level less than 4ng/ml, while in the patients having carcinoma, the PSA level was up to more than 20ng/ml. Conclusion: A strong correlation was found between serum PSA level and tumor diagnosis. Serum PSA level increases with increase of grade of tumor and correlate well with the tumor aggressiveness.
