What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men involving the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland, a small gland below the bladder that produces seminal fluid.
It often grows slowly and may cause few or no early symptoms. As it progresses, it can present with urinary issues (frequent urination, weak flow, night waking) or blood in urine/semen. Diagnosis involves PSA blood tests, digital rectal examination (DRE), and biopsy. Treatment depends on the stage and grade of the cancer.
Types of Prostate Cancer
The most common type is adenocarcinoma, which starts in the gland cells of the prostate. Less common types include:
- Small cell carcinomas
- Transitional cell carcinomas
- Neuroendocrine tumors
- Sarcomas
Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Early-stage prostate cancer rarely causes symptoms. As the disease progresses, you may notice changes. Contact a prostate cancer specialist if you experience any of the following:
Urinary Symptoms
- Frequent, urgent need to urinate (especially at night)
- Weak urine flow or flow that starts and stops
- Pain or burning while urinating
- Loss of bladder control
Other Symptoms
- Painful ejaculation or erectile dysfunction
- Blood in semen or urine
- Pain in the lower back, hip or chest
- Loss of bowel control (in advanced cases)
Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Diagnosis & Staging
PSA Test
Blood test measuring prostate-specific antigen levels
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)
Physical examination of the prostate
Biopsy
Confirms cancer and determines Gleason score
Staging
Staging determines whether the cancer is localized or has spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs. This information guides treatment decisions by the prostate cancer surgeon.
