Progress in the spatial distribution of prostate cancer / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in male reproductive system. In China, the incidence of prostate cancer is increasing rapidly due to an aging population, changes in people's lifestyles, and the gradual promotion of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. At present, ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is the standard for diagnosis of PCa. However, it is still a hot topic to determine the spatial distribution of tumor in the prostate so as to better evaluate the patients, improve the detection rate of prostate cancer and better guide the follow-up diagnosis and treatment measures to reduce the cancer-related mortality. Here, the current review will discuss the characteristics of spatial distribution of PCa.
