Modern Considerations and Investigations in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Introduction
Etiology, pathogenesis, endocrinology, functional pathology,
and clinical aspects of no other benign lesion have interested urologists,
endocrinologists, and pathologists as much as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The importance of the interaction between stroma and glandular epithelium is
already sufficiently well known. The differentiation of glandular elements and
stroma depends on the concentration of circulating male sex hormones and their
metabolites. The possible etiological role of estrogens, and the exact molecular
mechanisms of BPH development are as of yet unknown. Read
