the potential clinical impact and the benefit that we can obtain from this incidental diagnosis is important, because an undetermined percentage of patients with TTR systemic amyloidosis end up developing heart disease, which if it is diagnosed and treated early, it allows a significant improvement in the quality of life and survival of patients<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\nIn addition to showing that the prostate is a target tissue for amyloid deposits, the work also disseminates among professionals the clinical picture of TTR systemic amyloidosis, which presents all with musculoskeletal and neurosensory symptoms and emphasizes that not all patients with this form of amyloidosis have cardiac involvement.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the usefulness of reviewing any biopsy sample in patients with suspicious symptoms of systemic amyloidosis is recalled, to detect amyloid deposits that would have gone unnoticed, explains Dr. Pan\u00e9.<\/p>\n
