- The study investigates the relationship between benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) size and prostate cancer (PCa) occurrence, suggesting that increased pressure from a growing transition zone (TZ) may lead to atrophy in the peripheral zone (PZ), where PCa typically develops.
- MRI scans of 204 male patients were analyzed, revealing a weak inverse correlation between total prostate volume (TPV) and peripheral zone thickness (PZT), with significantly different results when dividing patients into lower and higher TPV groups.
- The findings indicate that as BPH grows, it compresses the PZ tissue, potentially providing a protective effect against the development of prostate cancer.
