Abstract :

Background:Prostate cancer (PC) has turned out to be the most important health problem in developed countries during the last two decades. PC is mainly a disease of the aged with more than 70% of the cases occurring in men above 65 years of age.

Materials & Methods: The present study is a retrospective and prospective study done in Department of Pathology for a period of two years from June  2016 to July 2018. Total 26 cases were included,almost  all the patients gave  similar complaints of difficulty in passing urine.  Prostate gland was completely excised and sent for histopathological examination.  Complete clinical history, radiological findings and Prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were considered.

Results: Age group between 61–70 years affected more in our study compared to other groups. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) contributed highest number of cases and Prostate adenocarcinoma contributed least number of cases. PSA levels were raised in majority of the cases.

Conclusion: Prostate cancer remains an important malignancy in men and regular screening with PSA levels should be done in patients whose prostate gland is enlarged.  Metastasis to bone is also one of the important feature of Prostate cancer. So early detection and surgical removal is the treatment of choice to prevent further complications.
