The impact of inflammation on prostate tumor dynamics: A pathological perspective on prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

This study emphasizes the importance of chronic inflammation in BPH development, with IL-8 and IL-6 playing essential roles. The results imply that treating BPH by focusing on IL-8 and IL-6 may be beneficial. Increased levels of FGF2 in PCa tissues suggest that this protein may be used as a biomarker and therapeutic target for PCa. These findings highlight the importance of targeting both inflammatory and growth factor pathways for treating prostatic disorders.
