Incidental prostate cancer

SUMMARY

Aim: to study the incidence of incidental prostate cancer at the point of various surgical approaches, and to compare with average world incidence.

It was determined that frequency of incidental prostate cancer (IPC) diagnosis has been rising along with amount of TURP done. While over the time frame of 1996-2001 the IPC incidence was 5.9%, and in the years of 2003-2007 it was 6.3%, for the period 2012-2015 it reached the level of 10.5%.

Over the years 1996-2001 the incidence of IPC was higher among the patients who underwent the open surgery (6.4%) compared to TURP group (2.3%). In the period starting 2003 and including 2007 the incidence of IPC was 8.9% in the group of prostatic adenomectomy and 6.3% for the TURP group. Starting from 2012 up to and including 2015 the incidence of IPC reached 5.9% for the open surgery group and 10.5% for the TURP group.

The overall prevalence of IPC in the MHI “Regional Clinical Center of Urology and Nephrology n.a. Shapoval V.I.” starting from the year 1996 and over 2015 raised from 2.3% up to 10.5% which is similar to average world levels. As such, we can state that Ukrainian specialized urological healthcare facility demonstrates the high quality of screening of the hospitalized patients with prostate diseases in regards of early stage prostate cancer diagnosis.
