Abstract:
This review contains updated information on benign prostatic hyperplasia, basal cell hyperplasia, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, different forms of carcinoma and rare prostatic neoplasms. The literature and the authors' clinico-morphological investigation of 687 patients are analysed. The diagnostic significance of some morphological markers (mitotic activity, the presence of crystalloids, amyloid bodies, the activity of endocrine-paracrine cells, etc) as well as the significance of PSA-test in various types of lesion are considered.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
