Specific red cell adherence testing and benign prostatic hyperplasia

B S Stein, A R Kendall, R O Petersen

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Specific red cell adherence testing is not reliable for predicting prostate cancer behavior. The test was found in only 36% of benign prostate disease cases, limiting its use in cancer prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Specific red cell adherence testing predicts non-invasive bladder cancer behavior.
    • Its utility in low-grade, low-stage prostate cancer is unexplored.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate specific red cell adherence testing in benign prostatic diseases.
    • To determine if this test can predict prostatic carcinoma behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Tested 36 prostatectomy specimens of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Assessed for specific red cell adherence in prostatic acini.

    Main Results:

    • Specific red cell adherence was detected in only 36% of benign prostatic hyperplasia cases.
    • This low prevalence suggests limited applicability in differentiating benign from malignant prostate tissue.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific red cell adherence testing is not sufficiently present in benign prostate disease.
    • Its use in predicting the aggressive behavior of prostatic cancer is unlikely to be valuable.
