ITC Top 5 Supplements For Cancer Patients ITC Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. When detected and treated early, prostate cancer can be effectively treated. PSA and Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates about 180,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2017. More than 2 million American men alive today have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. But prostate cancer treatment in Mexico is now available. Here are 5 myths about prostate cancer, busted! Myth 1: Most Prostate Cancer Is Found In Elderly Men Although the incidence of prostate cancer increases with age, most prostate cancers are found in men over 60. The majority of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men over the age of 65. While it is true that the risk of developing prostate cancers increases with age, this does not mean that younger men are not at risk. Many factors can increase a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer, including family history, race, and lifestyle choices. Myth 2: Screening Tests For Prostate Cancer Are Accurate Despite what some men may believe, screening tests for prostate cancer are not always accurate. Studies have shown that the PSA test, the most common screening test for prostate cancer, can often lead to false-positive results. The test may show that a man has prostate cancer when he does not have the disease. False-positive results from the PSA test can cause unnecessary anxiety and stress for men and their families. They may also lead to patients undergoing Mexico Prostate Cancer Treatment, which can have serious side effects such as impotence and incontinence. For these reasons, it is essential to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of screening tests for prostate cancer before deciding whether to get treated. 

  2. A Message from Dr. Ariel Perez on COVID-19. Let's discuss your options: (619) 832-2230     Privacy Policy Disclaimer Myth 3: PSA Levels Increase With Age, So The Men Who Have High Levels Of PSA Have More Cancer Age is not a risk factor for prostate cancer. However, the risk of prostate cancer increases with age. The PSA test is used to screen for prostate cancer, but it is not perfect. A high PSA level does not always mean a man has prostate cancer. Why Choose Us Diseases We Treat Our Treatments About us Help & FAQs Phone Consultation Myth 4: PSA Is The Best Marker For Detecting Early Prostate Cancer PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. PSA levels in the blood can be elevated in men with prostate cancer. However, PSA is not specific to prostate cancer and can be elevated in other conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In addition, PSAs levels can vary depending on a man’s age, race, and family history of prostate cancer. There is no one “best” marker for detecting early prostate cancer. The ideal marker would be highly sensitive (able to detect most cancers) and specific (able to rule out most non-cancerous conditions). PSA is neither sensitive nor specific, so it is not considered the best marker for detecting early prostate cancer. Myth 5: Biopsy Is The Only Way To Know If You Have Prostate Cancer A biopsy is not the only way to know if you have prostate cancer. If you have an elevated PSA, your doctor may recommend additional testing, including a digital rectal exam, transrectal ultrasound, and MRI. Conclusion Trustfully, this article has helped dispel some myths about PSA and prostate cancer. It is important to remember that PSA levels can be affected by some factors, and they do not necessarily indicate the presence of cancer. If you are concerned about your PSA levels, talk to your doctor to get more information and avail Mexico prostate cancer treatment. Previous Post Next Post Fasting And Cancer: 3 Surprising Bene?ts!
