Observation and follow-up with PSA and rectal exam appears to be a good option for T1a clinical stage, given the good prognosis. Our results show that patients with T1a clinical stage and good prognostic factors could be at a similar risk of suffering from a new prostate cancer as the normal population, although prospective studies are required to validate these results. T1b cases require active treatment and closer monitoring.

La existencia de abscesos prostáticos como mala evolución de una prostatitis aguda no es muy frecuente dado al correcto manejo de las infecciones urinarias mediante antibioterapia adecuada, a pesar de ello existen situaciones de inmunosupresión que pueden favorecer su aparición. Es nuestro propósito revisar la actuación en estas situaciones a raíz de un caso que mediante un drenaje percutáneo mínimamente invasivo consiguió completa mejoría.

Tissue microarray technology (TMA) is nowadays considered as a powerful tool for the high-throughput analysis of molecular expression pattern of cancer. In this manuscript we show the experience of both groups in the design and building of a TMA for the study of protein expression pattern of prostatecancer as well as a summary of the technical points to analyze the results obtained with this technology. Today, different data generated by the immunostained tissues are studied to achieve a molecular profile in different clinical scenarios.
