Correlation between atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, intraepithelial tumour and prostatic carcinoma

Abstract

— The Authors report their experience on early cancer lesions of the prostate: atypical adenomatous hyerplasia and intra-epithelial tumour. Even though such lesions could develop long-term into a prostatic tumour, the Authors do not justify handling and treating such patients as affected by prostatic tumour. Nevertheless, strict patient follow-up is useful, including rectal examination and PSA testing every 3 months and transrectal prostatic sonography with cytological testing or gland biopsy every 6 months.
