? PROSTATE: GOOD NEWS ABOUT PIN
The same group has good
news for men who have been diagnosed with
high-grade prostatic
interepithelial neoplasia (or PIN). Such men are
often told that they are
on the path to having outright prostate
cancer. However, scientists now
say that men with this diagnosis have
no greater risk of future prostate
cancer than those whose prostates
are non-malignant. Dr. Andre N. Vis, of
Erasmus University in
Rotterdam, and colleagues evaluated 20,000 men who
were screened
between 1994 and 2000. A total of 4,057 men underwent
biopsies
(tissue samples) after they failed a screening test based on
prostate-
specific antigen (PSA) or some other standard
method.
According to the investigators' report in the August 1, 2001
issue of
Cancer, 23.6% of study participants were diagnosed with
prostate
carcinoma, 2.6% with prostate biopsy suspicious for malignancy,
and
0.8% with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
Among
patients who underwent repeated biopsy for intraepithelial
neoplasia
within 6 weeks, 10.0% had prostate carcinoma. This rate was
similar
to the 11.0% prostate carcinoma rate of men who underwent
repeated
biopsy one year after an initial benign biopsy result.
(Cancer
2001;92:524-534).
Prostate cancer is unlike most other
cancers: most of the time it
does not metastasize or become
life-threatening. A strategy
of "watchful waiting" (anticipatory
management) may be appropriate
for you: ask your urologist or
oncologist.
Be well
all.
