BPH specimens were obtained by superpubic enucleation. Immunohistochemical staining for vimentin, muscle actin (HHF35), and smooth muscle actin (1A4) was conducted in serial sections of 55 consecutive stromal nodules of BPH specimens. The simplest stromal nodules were undifferentiated nodules that contained vimentin-negative and smooth muscle actin-negative cells. These cells were designated as undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. Immunohistochemical staining identified two cell types. Smooth muscle cells contained smooth muscle actin and vimentin, while fibrocytes contained vimentin but not smooth muscle actin. Fibrous nodules contained fibrocytes. Two more types of stromal nodules were fibromuscular nodules, which contained mixtures of fibrocytes and smooth muscle cells, and muscular nodules, which contained only smooth muscle cells. Of 55 stromal nodules, 11 (20%) were undifferentiated, 5 (9%) were fibrous, 37 (67%) were fibromuscular, and 2 (4%) were muscular.","PeriodicalId":22947,"journal":{"name":"The open prostate cancer journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"199-204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74619059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimated the odds ratios (OR) of prostate cancer for rare HRAS1 VNTR from logistic regression models. Four common HRAS1 VNTR alleles were identified about which there was a distribution of rare 28-nucleotide repeat units. There was no difference (p = 0.4) in the prevalence of rare alleles between cases (25.8%) and control subjects (23.7%).

Inclusion criteria for selection were the following: a preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) value <50 ng/ml; a clinical stage less than or equal to stage T3c (TNM 1992); the availability of the bioptic Gleason score; and the availability of a pathologic specimen obtained during the radical prostatectomy. Pathologic stages were categorized into five levels according to the increasing severity of the illness. Multivariate logistic regression on polythomous ordinal response was performed to obtain a predictive model of disease progression. A set of parallel scale nomographs then was constructed to transfer the predictive model into a new tool, called the “Uro-gramma,” that is able to simplify the practical use of the traditional nomograms. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results: The Gleason score was the factor that influenced the probability of pathologic stage progression the most; PSA and clinical stage were the second and third most significant factors, respectively. Two-way and three-way interactions were tested and were not found to be significant. The confounding effects of age and neoadjuvant hormonal therapy also were tested, and they had no significant influence on the response variable. A logistic regression algorithm then was used to produce a set of nomographs (the Uro-gramma) for the prediction of different pathologic stages using the Gleason score, PSA level, and clinical stage of disease. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion: The predictive model obtained from this Italian study will help physicians and patients in therapeutic decision making. The Uro-gramma provides a new and easier instrument with respect to previous nomograms and multidimensional tables for pathologic stage prediction.","PeriodicalId":22947,"journal":{"name":"The open prostate cancer journal","volume":"79 1","pages":"193-198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76664445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 404 patients received bicalutamide plus LHRHa, and 409 patients received flutamide plus LHRHa. Patients were grouped prospectively by “extent of disease” as determined by bone scan: minimal disease was defined as zero to five lesions, while extensive disease was defined as greater than or equal to six lesions. Patients with no lesions on bone scan (0 lesions) had to have at least one measurable nonskeletal metastasis. \u0000 \u0000Results: Patients with minimal disease receiving bicalutamide plus LHRHa demonstrated a trend to longer survival as reflected by a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.59–1.07), but this was not statistically significant. In the extensive disease group, the effects of bicalutamide plus LHRHa and flutamide plus LHRHa on disease progression and survival were similar (HR 0.96 and 0.90, respectively). \u0000 \u0000Conclusions: Our results are consistent with previously published data demonstrating that patients with stage D2 prostate cancer and minimal disease have a better outcome than patients with extensive disease. In the patients with minimal disease per bone scan, there was a trend toward a benefit for bicalutamide plus LHRHa compared with flutamide plus LHRHa in terms of survival, but not in terms of disease progression.","PeriodicalId":22947,"journal":{"name":"The open prostate cancer journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"137-145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80411859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
