Background: Prostate cancer is a common tumour type in Australian men.
Objective: The aim of this article is to review important changes in prostate cancer diagnosis and management over the past five years, particularly as they pertain to general practice.
Discussion: The management of prostate cancer has changed significantly in recent years, particularly the use of imaging, with the introduction of prostate magnetic resonance imaging as routine in the diagnostic pathway, and the increasing use of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography for early stratification in the salvage setting for failure of primary treatment in localised disease.
Objective: To describe nerve subtypes involved by perineural invasion (PNI) in prostate cancer and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters and recurrence risk.
Methods: 141 prostatectomy specimens from men with localized prostate cancer and known perineural invasion were analyzed. Index tumor blocks were stained for perineural invasion and sympathetic/parasympathetic markers.
