Male Bladder Prostate Sagittal Section Prostate Cancer

Description

A sagittal section through the male bladder and prostate showing a prostate cancer lesion. The tumor typically arises in the peripheral zone, visible on the posterior aspect of the gland. The section shows how the cancer can extend through the prostatic capsule and invade surrounding structures, including the seminal vesicles and bladder neck. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy in men. The peripheral zone location explains why many early cancers are palpable on digital rectal examination and why they may not cause urinary symptoms until advanced. The sagittal view demonstrates the tumor's relationship to the capsule and adjacent organs. The model supports oncology education, patient counseling before treatment, and surgical anatomy teaching for radical prostatectomy. Medical advisory board reviewed.
