22
Q

What is the etiology of BPH ( benign prostatic hyperplasia)

A

increased number of epithelial cells and stromal components influenced by DHT

23

peripheral zone

35
Q

how do PIN glands differ from prostate adenocarcinoma

A

lymphatics

blood

40
Q

if prostate adenocarcinoma mets via lymph , where does it go

A

obtruator nodes then to paraaortic nodes

if prostate adenocarcinoma mets via blood, where does it go? what is formed?

A

bones
