Moscow program of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer

摘要

The aim of this study is to improve the results of detection and treatment of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in the Moscow. For this purpose, we performed our own clinical diagnostic, epidemiological, autopsy, experimental and comparative studies that emphasize the relevance of the stated subject in the study of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with PCa. Urology Department of A. I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry was at the forefront of the Men's Health program in Moscow and in early 2003 it was the first to have an office for early diagnosis of prostate diseases, as part of the Program. Over 20,000 patients were screened for PCa. For the first time in Russia, methods for the early detection of PCa were investigated on a cohort of Russian men using PCA3 and the Prostate Health Index. The role and significance of prostate saturation biopsy was examined. The investigation of aspects of the morphological assessment of prostate diseases formed the basis for the development of an electronic atlas of PCa images. A series of studies on various prostate visualization methods, including Histoscanning system and MRI, have been performed. A new minimally invasive method for the treatment of prostate cancer has been introduced - a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and cryoablation. The concept of surgical treatment of localized forms of PCa has been developed and the factors predicting the success of treatment have been determined. This study is reflected in numerous publications both in Russia and abroad, in monographs and dissertations.
