Bhatt; Imran Ahmad; Maida Bada; Alison Obeidallah; Felice Crocetto Background: Prostate volume (PV) is a useful tool in risk stratification, diagnosis, and follow-up of numerous prostatic diseases...

...: To assess the association of prostate volume index (PVI) , defined as the ratio of the central transition zone volume to the peripheral zone volume, and prostatic chronic inflammation (PCI) as predictors of prostate cancer (PCA) risk in patients presenting with normal digital rectal exam and prostate...

... elected to the first prostate biopsy set, the risk of prostate cancer (PCA) may be predicted by clinical factors. The aim of this study was to investigate on prostate volume index (PVI), defined as the ratio of volume of the transitional zone to the volume of the peripheral zone, and PCA risk. Methods...

... growth patterns of zonal anatomy with changes of prostate volume (PV). Chronic inflammatory infiltrates (CII) type IV are the most common non-cancer diagnosis of the prostate after biopsy. Objective: To evaluate associations of both PV index (PVI), i.e. the ratio of transitional zone volume (TZV...

... into the without or with MetS group to assess the associations of MetS and components of MetS with BPH. Urologic evaluation included prostate volume, International Prostate Symptom Score, serum prostate-specific antigen, duration of concomitant lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and maximum flow rate. Results...

... < age ≤ 70, 70 < age ≤ 80 and 80 < age ≤ 90. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to test the linearity of the relationships between each of the MetS components and prostate volume and annual prostate growth rates generally and in different age decades. Results: The median total prostate...

... in RP specimens is relevant, especially in low-risk cases. Prostate volume and NPC are independent predictors of pIPCa. We propose a simple predictive model by adding the features of 1 positive core and volume ≧45 cm 3 to d’Amico’s criteria. This allows to preoperatively distinguish between patients...

...J.-L. Fehr; H. Knönagel Drug therapy using an α-reductase inhibitor is being conducted in 23 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), hopefully resulting in a decrease in prostatic volume. Suprapubic ultrasonography determination of prostatic size has proven to be a reliable parameter...

... therapy were investigated especially for the change in prostate volume. Methods: Fifty-nine patients with untreated metastatic prostate cancer who received endocrine therapy were included in the present study. Blood chemistry, histological grade, extent of bony metastasis, clinical response to hormone...

...Susumu Akimoto; Tomohiko Ichikawa; Haruo Ito To evaluate the relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and prostate volume and age in a mass screening for prostatic disease, a total of 1,162 examinees from one Japanese prefecture who were over 45 years of age underwent a mass...
