Prostate Cancer occurs when cells in the prostate begin to grow uncontrollably. The prostate gland is present in men . This gland produces fluid that makes up part of the semen. It is the size of a walnut and is located below the urinary bladder, surrounding the urethra.
Unlike other cancers, prostate cancer is characterized by its slow growth . It is extremely common, although its exact cause is unknown. Several studies have suggested that hormonal factors may be important in the development of prostate cancer.
Types
Prostate cancer occurs in 95 percent of cases in the glandular tissue , which is called adenocarcinomas . The remaining five percent is neuroendocrine cancer that originates in the small cells of the prostate.
Symptoms :
Signs and symptoms include:
* Frequent urination
* Weak or interrupted urinary stream
* Blood in the urine
* Urgency to urinate frequently at night
* Blood in the seminal fluid
* Bone pain
Usually, prostate cancers in the early stages do not cause symptoms. Most prostate cancers are first detected by blood test PSA ( prostate-specific antigen , PSA) or digital rectal examination ( digital rectal exam DRE). If cancer is suspected based on the results of screening tests or symptoms, testing is required to confirm the diagnosis. The definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer can be done only by a biopsy of the prostate.
