Abstract

Although prostatic diseases are common in older dogs, diagnosis can be difficult due to the presence of concurrent alterations. The routine evaluation of the prostate is not common in veterinary practice, and thus the diagnosis of prostate disease is often late, and the prognosis very poor. The study of other diagnostic methods, such as prostate tissue markers, can help to improve the success rate of treatments.
