Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases rather than just read about it. In short: Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is a quarterly peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research worldwide. The journal also reports on new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management.

Key takeaways

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is a quarterly peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research worldwide. The journal also reports on new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management. Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is of interest to surgeons, oncologists and clinicians treating patients and to those involved in research into diseases of the prostate. The journal covers the three main areas - prostate cancer, male LUTS and prostatitis. It was established in 1997 with Roger Kirby as the founding editor, with Judd Moul becoming co-editor alongside Kirby in 2003. It is published by Springer Nature Publishing Group. The outgoing editor-in-chief is Stephen J. Freedland (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center) and will be replaced by Cosimo De Nunzio (Sapienza University of Rome) from 1 January 2022. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 5.554, ranking it 16th out of 90 journals in the category "Urology & Nephrology" and 77th out of 242 journals in the category "Oncology".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

In research: Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 1997, Andrology journals, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
