Résumé
We treated a family of 3 brothers with prostate cancer, which is the first report of familial prostate cancer in Korea. Prostate cancer was diagnosed in the first brother with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 12.70 ng/ml of at the age of 68 years. He underwent a radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP); the cancer was pathologically staged to T2cN1Mo. He received adjuvant hormonal therapy postoperatively. Three years later, prostate cancer was diagnosed in the third brother at the age of 61 years with a high PSA level of 4.45 ng/ml. He underwent RRP, which revealed the pathological stage to be T2cN0M0. Three months later, the second brother, who had visited our hospital for lower urinary tract symptoms and for a PSA screening test was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 60 years (PSA level of 3.96 ng/ml). He also underwent RRP, and his cancer was staged pathologically as T2cN0M0.
