Background: The etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are unknown, with ageing being the greatness risk factor. Methods: This new perspective evaluates the available interdisciplinary evidence regarding prostate ageing in terms of the cell biology of regulation and homeostasis, which could explain the timeline of evolutionary cancer biology as degenerative, inflammatory and neoplasm progressions in these multifactorial and heterogeneous prostatic diseases. Results: This prostate ageing degeneration hypothesis encompasses the testosterone-vascular-inflamm-ageing triad, along with the cell biology regulation of amyloidosis and autophagy within an evolutionary tumorigenesis microenvironment. Conclusions: An understanding of these biological processes of prostate ageing can provide potential strategies for early prevention and could contribute to maintaining quality of life for the ageing individual along with substantial medical cost savings.

One of the key concepts of modern medicine is the quality of life associated with health, which is influenced by the initial underlying disease, its timely diagnosis and quality treatment, as well as rehabilitation, further prevention and identification of complications that have arisen. The conditions and lifestyle of the patient play an important role, not only his physical health, but also mental health. Despite the fact that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not a life-threatening disease, its main clinical signs are symptoms of dysfunction of the lower urinary tract, which to a greater extent cause discomfort to patients and significantly reduce their quality of life. One of the triggering factors for the development of prostate cancer is neglected cases of BPH progression. The occurrence of prostate cancer, as a consequence of BPH, undoubtedly worsens the patient's quality of life and requires timely diagnosis, detection and immediate treatment. Based on the literature data, the article analyzes the risk factors for the occurrence and the main methods of treatment for BPH and prostate cancer, which negatively affect the patient's quality of life.

The most common pathologic conditions of the prostate are benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Both of these conditions have age as a risk factor. Therefore the importance of understanding their impact in the ageing male is clear. In particular, both of these conditions can have an effect on quality of life in the ageing male. This chapter will aim to evaluate the background and diagnostic differences between the two conditions, with a focus on the benefits and pitfalls of prostate-specific antibody (PSA) testing. Furthermore, the effects of both these common conditions, including their impact on the male lower urinary tract, are explored. Subsequently, a focused outline of the treatment options for both BPH and prostate cancer will be presented. The discussion will focus on mechanisms of optimizing treatment options in an elderly population. Finally, the potential complications of different treatments for prostate cancer will be explored.

Представлены результаты внедрения в хирургическую практику урологического отделения Дорожной клинической больницы г. Ярославль биполярной техники трансуретральной резекции (БТУР) и энуклеации простаты (ТУЭБ) для лечения доброкачественной гиперплазии предстательной железы (ДГПЖ) средних и больших размеров. В сравнительное исследование включено 164 пациента, разделенных по методам операции на 2 основные группы (ТУЭБ - 33 человека, БТУР - 49) и 2 контрольные (открытая простатэктомия - ОПЭ - 38 и монополярная ТУР - 44). Для новых эндоскопических методов установлено значимое снижение объема кровопотери, частоты геморрагических осложнений, сроков послеоперационной катетеризации и госпитализации. Для количественной оценки различий средних и относительных показателей использо-вали непараметрический критерий Манна-Уитни, оценка качественных признаков проводилась с применением критерия Пирсона (χ2), уровень значимости различий для исследования выбран р ≤ 0,05. Анализ послеоперационной динамики клинических показателей в среднесрочной перспективе показал сходную радикальность и эффектив-ность сравниваемых методов. Установленные меньшая инвазивность, большая безопасность и лучшая переносимость биполярных эндоскопических операций демонстрируют перспективность их внедрения взамен бывших стандартных хирургических методов, что позволит повысить качество оперативного лечения и сократить затраты стационара. The results of the introduction into surgical practice of the urological Department of the road clinical hospital of Yaroslavl bipolar technique of transurethral resection (BTTR) and enucleation of the prostate (EOTP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of medium and large sizes are presented. The comparative study included 164 patients, divided by the methods of surgery into 2 main groups (EOTP - 33 people, BTTR - 49) and 2 control (open prostatectomy - OPE - 38 and monopolar TTR - 44). For new endoscopic methods, a significant reduction in the volume of blood loss, the frequency of hemorrhagic complications, the timing of postoperative catheterization and hospitalization was established. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was used to quantify the differences in mean and relative indicators, qualitative characteristics were evaluated using Pearson test (χ2), the significance level of the differences for the study was chosen p ≤ 0.05. Analysis of postoperative dynamics of clinical parameters in the medium term showed similar radicality and effectiveness of the compared methods. The lower invasiveness, greater safety and better tolerability of bipolar endoscopic operations demonstrate the prospects of their implementation instead of the former standard surgical methods, which will improve the quality of surgical treatment and reduce the costs of the hospital.
