Incidence of Prostate Adenocarcinoma in Men who had Radical Cystoprostatectomy because of Bladder Cancer. A Retrospective Cross Sectional Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: To determine the incidence of prostate adenocarcinoma in men who had radical cystoprostatectomy because of bladder cancer.
Study design: Retrospective cross sectional study
Place and duration: This study was conducted in Bolan Medical College and Hospital Quetta Balochistan, Pakistan from June 2020 to June 2021
Methodology: A total of 248 patients with bladder transitional cell carcinoma had cystoprostatectomy after histological verification of their tumors. Histopathology was done on the prostate tissue samples, which were cut into 5 mm-thick sections.
Results: Ten individuals (4.03 percent) were discovered to have prostate cancer out of a total of 248 patients. Eight of the ten instances of undetected prostate cancer were found to be in stage T1 or T2, with the other two cases being in stages T3 and T4, respectively.
Conclusion: The incidentally discovered prostate cancer among our bladder cancer patients looked to be lower than the rate of incidentally discovered prostate cancer among bladder cancer patients seen in previous studies. Patients with bladder cancer, particularly those over the age of 60 years, should be screened using a digital rectal examination and PSA testing.
