• ~215 000 men living in the UK with prostate
cancer
Mortality
• ~10 100 deaths per year (12%)
• 70% 5 year survival (95-98% 5 year survival
for treated localised disease)
Risk Factors

Prevention
• Little evidence
• ??Lycopene, green tea, soya sauce,
selenium and vitamin E, low saturated fats,
finasteride
Symptoms
• Early disease – none or those of benign
disease
• Late disease – systemic symptoms, bone
pain
Diagnosis - DRE
Diagnosis - PSA

Prostate Biopsy
Diagnosis
• Grading
• Gleason grade
Diagnosis
• Staging
• TNM
Treatment – Localised Disease
• Low risk
• Intermediate risk
• High Risk
• Also an individual’s age, preference and
other medical problems (life expectancy)
Active surveillance
• Very close monitoring and avoidance of the
side effects of treatment until evidence of
growth of the tumour
• PSA every 3-4 months, rectal examination
(ideally by a urologist) and repeat biopsy
every 18 months to 2 years
Surgery
• Radical Prostatectomy
Radiotherapy + hormones
Brachytherapy
Experiment procedures
• HIFU
• Cryotherapy
Metastatic disease
Metastatic disease
Metastatic disease
• First line GnRH analogues or orchidectomy
• Second/Third line hormones (anti-androgens)
• MAB
• Steroids and chemotherapy
• Trials
• Palliative care

Thank you
• Any questions?
PCA 3
• Urine test post prostatic massage
• Prostate cancer gene 3 (66 fold greater
expression in prostate cancer)
• Most useful in men with a negative biopsy
• Level >35 suggest cancer, available in some
private clinics cost £300-£400
Abiraterone
• Metastatic prostate cancer
• CYP17 inhibitor, ablates androgens and
oestrogen synthesis in tissue
• Currently in phase III trials
• Need to take in conjunction with high dose
steroids
