Although some patients to do a prostate surgery, but a few are still being diagnosed with several years of prostate cancer, so the doctor had no doubt put the prostate “clean-cut.” In fact, whether open surgery or transurethral surgery, the peripheral zone of the gland capsule was removed, that is to say there are still likely to suffer from prostate cancer.

Surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and other disease, the urinary tract to preserve continuity, the general only resection of the gland hyperplasia, retained the outer envelope, just like the Orange peel, Orange put only the meat removed, Orange leather still keep. And prostate cancer occur in the outer envelope, that is to do the prostate does not mean that may not be cancer.

Therefore, patients who had prostate surgery, we should also see a specialist regularly, the majority of prostate cancer through the rectal examination, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) examination can be found.

Addition, it is necessary to remind the elderly male patients whether or not micturition vigilance varies because some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia prostate cancer may be combined, and at 10% ~ 30% done TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients with prostate cancer have also found that this type of tumor is considered sporadic prostate cancer. Therefore, appears not to since when dysuria diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia, but the formal hospital for examination, to exclude prostate cancer.

As for benign prostatic hyperplasia will develop into prostate cancer, from the pathological anatomy of view, benign prostatic hyperplasia are many around the urethra around the prostate tissue, prostate cancer was particularly prevalent in the prostate peripheral tissue. This shows that in the event of a mechanism on the two distinctly different, generally do not exist between the situation of mutual transformation.
