The risk of development of prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer in patients presenting with acromegalia

https://doi.org/10.14341/probl201056530-32

Abstract

The objective of the present review was to consider the available data on the risk of development of prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer in patients presenting with acromegalia. It is shown that the incidence of prostatic diseases in acromegalic patients is significantly higher than in the general population. Prostatic hyperplasia occurs in patients of all age groups presenting with acromegalia while its treatment reduces the volume of the prostate gland. The reviewed publications do not report cases of prostate cancer.
