| anterior surface of prostate | The anterior surface of the prostate. Synonym: facies anterior prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| beta-amyloid | <protein> The protein which forms thick deposits, or plaques, in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, a disease where memory skills gradually deteriorate with age. (13 Nov 1997) |
| cancer, prostate | Cancer of the gland that produces some of the components of semen fluid. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death of males in the U.S. Prostate cancer is often first detected as a hard nodule during a routine rectal examination. The PSA blood test is a screening test for prostate cancer. Diagnosis of prostate cancer is established when cancer cells are identified in prostate tissue obtained by a biopsy. In some patients, prostate cancer is life threatening. In many others, prostate cancer can exist for years without causing any health problems. Treatment options for prostate cancer include observation, radiation therapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glandular substance of prostate | The glandular tissue of the prostate as distinct from the stroma and capsule. Synonym: substantia glandularis prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral amyloid angiopathy | <pathology> A condition where there is a deposition of amyloid (insoluble protein) in the walls of the arteries which supply the brain. This results in an increased risk of dementia and-or intracerebral haemorrhage. Cerebral amyloidosis or cerebral amyloid angiopathy, is a complication of primary amyloidosis. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| middle lobe of prostate | The portion of the prostate lying between the urethra and the ejaculatory ducts; indistinct unless hypertrophied. Synonym: lobus medius prostatae, Morgagni's caruncle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular substance of prostate | The smooth muscle in the stroma of the prostate. Synonym: substantia muscularis prostatae, musculus prostaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior surface of prostate | The posterior surface of the prostate. Synonym: facies posterior prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostate | A small conical gland at the base of the male bladder and surrounding the first part of the urethra. (27 Sep 1997) |
| prostate acid phosphatase | An enzyme produced by the prostate that is elevated in some patients with prostate cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostate anatomy | <radiology> Periurethral glandular tissue, may lead to BPH, prostatic acinar tissue, central zone may lead to BPH, peripheral zone may lead to carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostate cancer | The second most common malignancy in men. A malignant tumour of glandular origin in the prostate. Over 95% are adenocarcinomas. Most commonly seen in older men, with the age of 73 being the average age at the time of diagnosis. A family history for prostate cancer and perhaps, a diet that is high is fat are considered to be risk factors for this malignancy. Early detection is possible through annual digital rectal examinations and routine PSA testing. (27 Sep 1997) |
