Abstract
The authors determined the detection rates of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) in 2317 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PC); and those of chronic prostatitis and fibrosis in patients with PIN, BPH, or PC. There was no difference in median age between the groups. PC was found to be more concurrent with PIN 2 than with BPH. The severer inflammation or fibrosis is, more likely there is a concomitance with PIN 2 or PC. There is evidence for the theory of inflammation is a factor of carcinogenesis. Prostatic fibrosis may also initiate carcinogenesis.
