Misanian Men, are or aren't a Prostatic Adenocarcinoma?

Abstract

It is an observational study in Al-Shafaa Oncology Center in Misan province about male patients with prostatic carcinoma to make an idea about the prevalence of this malignancy. This study was carried out during the period from July 2018 to March 2019 in Al-Shafaa Oncology Center in Al-Sadder teaching hospital in Misan province in which 53 male patients were involved. In our study we found that that the disease reaching a peak among patients between (70-80) years, (66.03%) of patients are a smoker (13.2%), had a family history of different type of cancer, (100%) of the patients had adenocarcinoma, (56.6%) that had high-grade cancer (Gleason score ˃8), (77.35%) of the patient had PSA level >100 ng/ml. The prostate cancer in Misan appears to be more likely to occur in the presence of particular risk factor like age, hypertension, family history, and less likely in the presence of diabetes mellitus. It is more likely to be presented with high grade and metastatic disease, and this may be primarily explained by the absence of the screening program.
