BPH Prostate Cancer / Urinary Tract Disorders Flashcards
stratified epithelium lined with layer of cuboidal or columnar cells
arranges like a tree with larger ducts draining into small ones
prostate glandular tissue about 30% of prostate
types of tissue in prostate
glandular
stroma
acini
prostate stroma definition
collagen elastic & fibrous tissue that supports glandular tissue
__% of prostate is glandular tissue and __% of prostate is stroma
30% prostate = glandular
70% prostate = stroma
contains strands of smooth muscle as well
lets prostate contract and expel secretions
stroma
the smallest structure in the glandular part of prostate
acini
acini proliferation leads to
BPH
4 prostate zones
periurethral
peripheral
central
transition
periurethral zone contains
contains mucosal and submucosal glands
peripheral zone
majority of glandular tissue location
where 70% of prostate adenocarcinomas occur
peripheral zone
cone shaped and has 25% of glandular tissue
also location about 1-5% of prostate cancers
Central Zone
Transition Zone surrounds..
prostatic urethra
contains mucosal glands
only about 20% of prostate cancer arises from …
the transition zone
t/f BPH normal part of aging
true
90% of men by age 80
BPH is more progressive and severe in __
blacks
role of 5 reductase
turns testosterone into DHT
binds to receptors in prostate = BPH
where are A1 adrenergic receptors located
muscle of stroma
capsule of prostate
bladder neck (causes smooth muscle contraction and contributes to worsening urinary sx)
LUTS
lower urinary tract sx
sx of LUTS or urinary incontinence are exacerbated by what med?
cold meds especially decongestants (Sudafed)
medications to help with urinary BPH sx specifically to “open the gland”
non selective alpha blocker : doxazosin, terazosin
selective alpha-blocker: tamsulosin, silodosin
meds to “shrink the gland”
5 alpha reductase inhibitors : finasteride, dutasteride
takes about 6 mo to work
additional med for BPH
antimuscarinics such as oxybutinin
TUMT
surgical bph option..microwave tx
TUNA
surgical bph option: insert hot wire under direct vision = coagulative necrosis
TURP
bph surg option: resect extra tissue
PVP
bph surg option: vaporize the obstructing tissue w/ laser
REZUM
bph surg option shoots steam into prostate
most common non skin cancer in men
prostate cancer
2nd leading cause of cancer death in men
prostate cancer
prostate cancer prognosis
excellent if detected early
PSA is the ezyme that..
liquefies ejaculate sperm swim free
T/F DRE is both ore specific and sensitive for prostate cancer than PSA
TRUE
what is included in annual prostate exam?
DRE + PSA
who needs biopsy? (4 criteria)
men under 50 if + 1st degree relative
Age 40 and African American
+ FH and PSA is 2.5
PSA under 4 but has increased over past 3 checks
DRE limitation
only 85% of cancers arise peripherally and are palpable
grading of prostate tells me
what type of cancer cells and how aggressive
staging of cancer tells me
how much of cancer and where it is (if spread how far)
