Abstract

One of the most common #oncological diseases in men is prostate cancer (PC). According to the frequency of occurrence among the causes of cancer death in men, it ranks second to #bronchogenic lung carcinoma [1]. During the last 30 years, the incidence of prostate cancer increased significantly worldwide. Moreover, a change of the existing paradigm takes place at the present moment, according to which prostate cancer is highly androgen-dependent disease [2]. 42 patients with morphologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer were examined in the urology departments of Krasnoyarsk hospitals. Age of the patients - 46-91 years (middle age 69,3 ± 2,6). #Standard anthropometry was made for all of them in 27 parameters [3-5] with the calculation of #osteometric indices of Rees-Eysenck [3-4] and Tanner according to the known formulas [3,4,6]. Anthropometric data taken from the healthy men of the same age were used as a comparison group [5]. Statistical data management was made using the Student's test and x2. Differences were considered significant by criteria t (Student's test) and x2 at p <0.05 [7,8]. Determination of #patient somatotype by Rees-Eysenck index showed that men of pyknic type suffering from PC made up 41.5%, normosthenic type -39%, asthenic type - 19.5%. When comparing the frequency of patient somatotypes and men of the population there is a significant difference. These comparisons are shown on (Figure 1). By distributing the patients into the somatotypes by index of Tanner - the index of sexual dimorphism - it was found out that gynaecomorphic males amount 65.6%, mesomorphic ones - 31.8% and andromorphic group made up 2.6%. Compared with the population norms - a striking contrast. Among the patients #gynaecomorphic males prevail and andromorphic males are virtually absent (Figure 2).
