Abstract

We report two cases of prostate cancer in young adult 35 and 45 years old. Patients reported voiding disorders. On digital rectal examination, the prostate was hard. PSA levels were high. At the time of diagnosis, in two cases, there was an invasion of neighboring organs. Histology of the prostate biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. We performed hormone therapy in two patients. The outcome was unfavorable in the first patient with death 6 months after the start of treatment. In the second patient, the clinical and biological evolution were good at 6 months and 1 year.

Keywords: Prostate cancer, young adults, hormone therapy.
