Abstract: Introduction: prostate enlargement is histologic diagnosis that refers to the proliferation of glandular epithelial tissue, smooth muscle, and connective tissue within the prostatic transition zone. Objectives: The study objectives are to measure prevalence of prostate cancer in patients with prostate enlargement. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital. Base study carried out on fifty patients. Results: 100% of study population did digital rectal examination, 90% of study elements did SPA test, 38% of them were positive, 48% negative. 82% of study population did U/S examination, and 84% did biopsy. 94% of population said that; they know about the disease. Conclusion: The study concluded that prostate cancer is threat for prostate enlargement patients.

Abstract: Radiation therapy (radiotherapy) is one of the important methods for comprehensive treatment of breast cancer. Radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery for early breast cancer can not only achieve local control rate and long-term survival rate similar to total mastectomy, but also meet patients' pursuit of higher quality of life. With the development of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), helical tomotherapy (HT), and other advanced radiotherapy technique, the consistency of patient position fixation during radiotherapy is the key to ensure the implementation of accurate radiotherapy. Due to the special and high activity of breast organs, there is no unified fixation method for breast conserving postoperative radiotherapy. This article reviews the clinical application and research progress of various accessible supine fixation techniques in early breast cancer postoperative radiotherapy in recent years. This paper analyzes the clinical application method and clinical application effect of various techniques, compares the advantages and disadvantages of each technology. It is found that breast bracket is the most widely used for classical breast cancer radiotherapy. In any fixation technique, it is still a practical problem for the clinic to solve the problem of the normal location of the breast activity and the consistency of the radiation. It is recommended that the position of the supposition fixation technique should be selected according to the patient's BMI, breast size and target area.

Abstract: Background: Primary breast lymphoma is a malignant lymphoma primarily involving breast in absence of previously detected lymphoma localizations. Method: A male of forty years old admitted to Department of Surgery; Wad Madani Teaching Hospital; Gezira State; Sudan; complaining of left breast lump for three months. Condition observed as a painful swelling in left breast, increasing gradually in size, associated with continuous high-grade fever, no rigors and relieved by analgesia, no nipple discharges. Had significant weight loss, anorexia, fatigability, back pain, dry cough with no hemoptysis, no history of headache, and no past or family history of similar condition. Examination: patient looks ill, pale, and not jaundiced. Breast examination: Left breast was larger than right one. Left breast: no nipple destruction, nipple was directed downward medially, no skin changes or dimpling, and no ulceration. There was a mass in left upper outer quadrant, measuring 6*7 cm, smooth surface, hard in consistency with well-defined edges, and attached to muscles but not to skin. No palpable axillary lymph nodes. Right breast was normal. Chest and abdominal examination were unremarkable. Investigations: Fine needle aspiration cytology showed poorly differentiated carcinoma. Incisional biopsy revealed: high grade Non-Hodgkins Lymphomas (Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma). He was referred to oncological department for neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Conclusion and Recommendation: Primarily breast lymphoma is extremely rare among male, showing features mimicking breast carcinoma. Incisional biopsy was recommended for investigation of breast lump especially among males.
