Abstract

Angiotensin converting enzyme – a new prognostic marker of recurrence in the treatment of prostate cancer

Highlights

  • Introduction to the clinical practice of new criteria for the diagnosis and monitoring of neoplastic processes in the prostate based on the identification of informative predictors and markers of prostate cancer (PC), especially its aggressive forms, is one of the priority directions of scientific research in oncological urology

  • For identification associated with PC progression indicators – potential markers clinically aggressive forms of PC was determined activity kininase II (angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), EC 3.4.15.1) in serum of blood with using as substrate N-(3-(2-furyl) acryloyl)-L-phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine (FAPGG)

  • It has been shown that the development of PC recurrence is associated with an increase in ACE activity, and the ACE activity starts to grow sooner than noted the development of biochemical recurrence

Summary

Background

Introduction to the clinical practice of new criteria for the diagnosis and monitoring of neoplastic processes in the prostate based on the identification of informative predictors and markers of prostate cancer (PC), especially its aggressive forms, is one of the priority directions of scientific research in oncological urology. For identification associated with PC progression indicators – potential markers clinically aggressive forms of PC was determined activity kininase II (angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), EC 3.4.15.1) in serum of blood with using as substrate N-(3-(2-furyl) acryloyl)-L-phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine (FAPGG). ПСА синтезируется всеми эпителиальными клетками предстательной железы (нормальными, гиперпластическими или опухолевыми), что, несомненно, снижает его специфичность как биомаркера РПЖ. При локализованном РПЖ с низкой вероятностью поражения лимфатических узлов, высокой степенью дифференцировки опухоли и уровнем ПСА ≤ 20 нг / мл лучевую терапию проводили в режиме монотерапии. Согласно рекомендациям Американского общества терапевтической радиологии и онкологии (American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology) критерием биохимической прогрессии после наружной лучевой терапии являются 3 последовательных повышения уровня ПСА (ПСА ≥ 2 нг / мл относительно надира уровня ПСА), независимо от его значения [13, 14]. На основе ПСА-мониторинга ретроспективно стратифицировали группы пациентов: с развитием биохимического рецидива и клиническими признаками рецидива и с безрецидивным течением
