SMITH For Site(s): C, D, H, J, (212) PROSTATE ADENOCARCINOMA PATIENT FACT SHEET TM Definition: The most common form of cancer in men. It is a growth that originates in the peripheral cells of the prostate and is malignant, meaning that it can spread to other organs of the body. The prostate is a gland that surrounds the male urethra and secretes a fluid during ejaculation. POSSIBE RIS FACTORS -Age -Prostate cancer is very rarely found in men under 40 years old. -Men over 65 are 40 times more likely to have prostate cancer than are men under 65. -Prostate cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer in men over Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels PSA of up to 4.0 is considered normal. PSA of 4.1 to 10.0 is associated with a 15%-20% risk of prostate adenocarcinoma. PSA of over 10.0 is associated with a risk of prostate adenocarcinoma. -Race -Prostate cancer is most common in black men over age 60. -Prostate cancer is least common in men of Asian (Oriental) decent. -Heredity Patients with a family history of prostate cancer are more likely to develop it than are patients without a family history. STAGES OF PROSTATE CANCER Stage A. The carcinoma is confined to the prostate, and is not palpable (detectable) by Digital Rectal Examination (DRE). Patients usually do not complain about symptoms, and it can only be detected by elevated PSA levels or a biopsy. Stage B. The cancer is confined to the prostate, but is palpable by DRE. There are usually no symptoms. Stage C. In this stage, the carcinoma has spread to regions outside the prostate. Patients usually experience some pain. Stage D. The carcinoma has spread into the spinal column, causing back pain in addition to the pains found in stage C. DIAGNOSIC TESTS -Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) Your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum and feels for any abnormalities in the prostate. -Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test PSA is a chemical that is produced only by the prostate. A high PSA level in your blood suggests that your prostate is enlarged. METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS Clinicians can occasionally make the diagnosis by careful observation. However, the removal of a small sample from the affected area for analysis at a reputable pathology laboratory was required for absolute confirmation of the diagnosis, as other conditions can mimic it clinically. Your sample was studied by a specialized pathologist at Acupath aboratories, Inc. before being conclusively diagnosed as Prostate Cancer. METHODS OF TREATMENT Prostate adenocarcinoma usually requires surgery. However, other non-surgical methods are appropriate in some cases. Your doctor will determine which treatment is best suited for your specific case. COMMENTS Provided as a service by Acupath aboratories in cooperation with your doctor. Acupath aboratories, Inc.

4 Patient: JAC S JONES Date Obtained: 09/18/20XX Date of Birth: 01/02/19XX Doctor: Dr. JOHN U. SMITH For Site(s): A, B, G (212) PATIENT FACT SHEET TM PROSTATIC HYPERPASIA (BPH) Definition: A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that often begins around age 45 and can continue indefinitely. The prostate is a gland that surrounds the male urethra and secretes a fluid during ejaculation. As the prostate grows, it begins to pinch the urethra, causing the symptoms associated with BPH. There are many causes of an enlarged prostate, and it is important that BPH be distinguished from prostate cancer. FACTS -BHP may be the result of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which triggers the enlargement of the prostate. -BHP affects of men age 60 or older, and 90% of men age 85 or older. -Most cases of an enlarged prostate are BPH, not cancer. SYMPTOMS -Frequent urination -Weak or interrupted urinary stream -Feeling that bladder will not empty completely -Feeling of delay or hesitation when you begin to urinate -Feeling that you cannot postpone urination -Pain in lower back, pelvis, and/or upper thigh -Burning pain during urination sometimes indicates that an infection is present DIAGNOSIC TESTS -Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) Your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum and feels for an enlargement of the prostate. METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS Clinicians can occasionally make the diagnosis by careful observation. However, the removal of small samples from the affected area for analysis at a reputable pathology laboratory is required for absolute confirmation of the diagnosis, as other more serious conditions can mimic it clinically. Your sample is studied by a specialized pathologist at Acupath aboratories, Inc. before being conclusively diagnosed as a Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. METHODS OF TREATMENT There are various surgical and non-surgical methods of treating BPH, including several technologically advanced methods. Each method is applicable for certain specific cases, and your doctor will determine which method is best suited for you.

It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. TEST RESUT: Abnormal- Positive Aneuploidy of chromosomes 3, 7, 17 and/or 9p21 locus. A positive control had all 25 cells with an abnormal hybridization pattern. INTERPRETATION: The Vysis UroVysion Bladder Cancer FISH assay was performed on the analyzable cells from the patient s voided urine. A minimum of twenty-five morphologically abnormal cells were analyzed. Of these cells, 25 of 25 (%) were determined to have an abnormal profile. A review of the entire specimen slide revealed ten cells which were aneuploid for chromosomes 3, 7, 17 and/or the 9p21 locus. Aneuploidy of these chromosomes is associated with urothelial carcinoma progression. In addition, sixty other cells were observed which were tetraploidy/ near tetraploidy for chromosomes 3,7,17, and/or the 9p21 locus. This is greater than the 10 cells needed to consider the specimen abnormal by tertaploidy/ near tetraploidy (Bubendorf et al., Am J Clin Pathol 2001; 116:79-86). These results should be correlated with other clinical and laboratory tests. FISH Electronically signed by: John Brown, MD, Director of Genetics Olga Falkowski, M.D., Medical Director

One hundred non overlapping cells were identified, of which 33/ (33%) showed a heterozygous loss of both the HMGN1 and DSCAM, and TMPRSS loci resulting in the ERG locus rearranging with an unknown fusion partner. This is greater than the 10% of the tissue needed with an ERG rearrangement to consider the specimen abnormal. These are ABNORMA results. Patients with ERG rearrangements and with loss of PTEN are associated with a poor prognosis (Reid et al. British Journal of Cancer (2010) 102, ). In addition, FISH was also completed using a panel of three locus specific identifier probes and one chromosome enumeration probe for the following loci: CEP10 (10p11.1-q11.1), telomeric FAS (10q23.31), PTEN (10q23.31), and centromeric WAPA (10q23.31). A minimum of one hundred non overlapping cells were identified. Of these, 28/ cells showed a heterozygous loss of the PTEN locus as well as a heterozygous loss of the WAPA and FAS loci - showing the deletion is more likely the whole arm. This is greater than the 20% of the tissue needing to have the heterozygous loss of the PTEN locus to consider the specimen abnormal. The heterozygous PTEN deletion is associated with a much earlier onset of biochemical recurrence (Yoshimoto M, et al. Br J Cancer (2007) p ).

The HPV Wide Spectrum is used to detect HPV DNA by In Situ Hybridization (ISH) in biopsies; it does not discriminate between the HPV subtype. The HPV Wide Spectrum detects subtypes 6, 11, 16, 18, 30, 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, and 52. The absence of hybridization with HPV subtypes 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33 may indicate other subtypes that were not analyzed in this study. Positive for ow-risk HPV strains 6/11. Negative for High-Risk HPV strains 16/18. Negative for High-Risk HPV strains 31/33. This analysis is an adjunct to the evaluation of the referring physician and does not represent a final diagnosis.

13 Patient: JAC S JONES Date Obtained: 11/03/20XX Date of Birth: 01/02/19XX Doctor: Dr. JOHN U. SMITH For Site(s): B (212) PATIENT FACT SHEET TM CONDYOMA ACUMINATA Definition: Commonly known as genital warts, Condyloma Acuminata is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It is characterized by wart-like growths on the penis, vagina, vulva, and/or rectum. In rarer cases HPV may cause warts on the throat, tongue, and mouth. FACTS/RIS FACTORS Over 50 different types of HPV have been identified. Some lead to rough raised warts, while others to soft flat ones. Several types have been associated with abnormal pap smears in women, which may indicate an increased risk for cervical cancer. Unsafe sexual practices such as multiple/unknown sexual partners and lack of condom use increase the risk of contracting HPV. SYMPTOMS Although many patients display no symptoms at all, infection by HPV may cause: - warts/lesions in the genital and/or anal areas - cauliflower-like growths around the genitals and/or anus - dampness - itching METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS Many clinicians can diagnose Condyloma by careful observation. However, the removal of a small sample from the affected area for analysis at a reputable pathology laboratory is required for absolute confirmation of the diagnosis, as other conditions can mimic it clinically. Your sample is studied by a specialized pathologist at Acupath aboratories, Inc. before being conclusively diagnosed as Condyloma Acuminata. METHODS OF TREATMENT Methods of treatment include both topical medications and minor surgical procedures. Your doctor will decide which type of therapy is best suited for you. COMMENTS Provided as a service by Acupath aboratories in cooperation with your doctor. Acupath aboratories, Inc. "For the absolute highest standard in pathology services."
