“…19,21 The ability to distinguish local recurrence from systemic disease with posttreatment imaging may be critical because local recurrence is often amenable to local salvage treatment. 22 Some criteria, such as time to biochemical failure, PSA doubling time and positive surgical margins, were proposed to differentiate local recurrence from systemic disease. 23 However, imaging may still be needed to detect disease relapse in the absence of increased PSA 24 or in cases in which increased PSA after RP is suspected to be due to retained benign tissue.…”

Abstract-In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of skin cancer worldwide. There has been a huge amount of research literature on skin cancer especially in the last 10-15 years. There is no doubt that this is in direct relation to the increases in prevalence of the disease on a worldwide basis. Australian and American research has led in the field and again it is probable that this has been due to the increase in rates of skin cancer in those countries. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing international literature in the area. The skin protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection. Skin also helps control body temperature and stores water and fat. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. It usually forms in skin that has been exposed to sunlight, but can occur anywhere on the body. Skin has several layers. Skin cancer begins in the epidermis, which is made up of squamous cells, basal cells, and melanocytes. There are several different types of skin cancer. Squamous cell and basal cell skin cancers are sometimes called melanoma skin cancers. Nonmelanoma skin cancer usually responds to treatment and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Melanoma is more aggressive than most other types of skin cancer. If it isn't diagnosed early, it is likely to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The number of cases of melanoma is increasing each year. Keywords-: Skin cancer, diagnosed, self-examination, radiation, large proportion, Health System. I. INTRODUCTION Primary prevention and early detection continue to be of paramount importance in addressing the public health threat of skin cancer. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the prevalence and correlates of skin cancer-related health behaviors in the general population. To achieve this aim, 91 studies published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past three decades were reviewed and synthesized. Reported estimates of sunscreen use varied considerably across studies, ranging from 7 to 90%. According to self-report, between 23 and 61% of individuals engage in skin self-examination at least once per year, and the documented prevalence of annual clinical skin examination ranges from 8 to 21%. Adherence to sun protection and screening recommendations is associated with a range of factors, including: female gender, sunsensitive phenotype and greater perceived risk of skin cancer, greater perceived benefits of sun protection or screening, and doctor recommendation for screening [1]. The literature suggests that a large proportion of the general population engage in suboptimal levels of sun protection, although there is substantial variability in findings. The strongest recommendation to emerge from this review is a call for the development and widespread use of standardized measurement scales in future research, in addition to more studies with a population-based, multivariate design. It is also recommended that specific targeted inter...

“…Yüksek riskli grup; evre T3a veya Gleason skoru 8-10 veya PSA >20 ve çok yüksek riskli grup ; T3b ve T4 hastalık olarak tanımlanmıştır. Tedavi kararı hastanın tanı anındaki risk grubuna, öngörülen yaşam süresine, hastanın kendi tercihlerine bağlıdır (5). Lokalize prostat kanserinde hatta düşük riskli hastalıkta başlıca tedavi yöntemi radikal prostatektomidir.…”
