  7. 15. INFLAMMATION AND PROSTATIC CARCINOGENESIS ? A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE HUMAN PROSTATE

    Author : Wanzhong Wang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : prostate; carcinogenesis; chronic inflammation; atrophy; morphology; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation has been suggested to be linked to cancers. Inflammatory infiltrates are often found in and around foci of prostatic atrophy. These foci, called proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), are proposed as precursors of prostate cancer (PCa) or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). READ MORE
