Incidencia y estadificación por medio de la clasificación Gleason en pacientes con cáncer de próstata en SOLCA Loja en el periodo 2010-2014

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of the present project was to identify the incidence of prostate cancer in patients diagnosed and treated at the SOLCA Hospital in Loja during the period 2010-2014 and to classify them histopathologically by the Gleason scale to determine the most frequent degree and compare it with the existing literature. To do this, the information of people with this pathology was taken at the database hospital to be able to perform the incidence charts and classify them according to age, area of residence and histological type. The results obtained show that the Gleason grade with a higher incidence is the histological grade 7 with 29.01%, and filed by the differentiation class the most common was the well differentiated cancer (Gleason <6) with 41.98%; being more frequently in patients close to the age between 70 and 80 years old, who live in urban areas of the city of Loja. The results are similar to those of the international literature. Also, according to this project the most common histological type is adenocarcinoma with 93.2%.
