What is Prostate Cancer? Nowadays males in the United States, commonly suffer from Prostate cancer. But, the good news is it’s highly treatable if detected in the early stages. Prostate cancer begins in the prostate gland that sits between the penis and the bladder. As per the American Cancer Society (ACS) till the end of 2021, there may be around 248,530 new cases of prostate cancer and approximately 34,130 deaths from this type of cancer. Approximately 1 in 8 males are diagnosed with prostate cancer currently in the United States. However, the good news is only 1 in 41 of these succumbs to prostate cancer due to effective treatment, especially in the early stages. The prostate has numerous functions, including the production of the fluid to nourish and transport sperm, secreting prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that is a protein helping semen be in a liquid state, and helping aid urine control. Prostates are located below the bladder, which is the hollow organ to store urine and in front of the rectum. The seminal vesicles gland is located just behind the prostate that makes most of the fluid for semen. The urine and semen are secreted from the body through the urethra connected to the penis. The prostate goes through the center of the prostate.
What Causes the Prostate Cancer? • The cause of prostate cancer is not clear to the doctors and researchers. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate develop changes in their DNA. The DNA of the cell contains the instructions about their functionality and certain changes in the cells force them to grow and divide more rapidly than normal cells. The abnormal cell would continue to live when the normal cell would die. • The abnormal cells would accumulate to form a tumor that can grow to invade nearby tissue. Sometimes these abnormal cells can break away and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. • Some factors can increase your risk of prostate cancer such as: • Older age: Your risk of prostate cancer increases as you age above 50. • Family history: You are at a high risk of developing prostate if a blood relative, such as a parent, sibling, or child, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Also, a family history of breast cancer genes such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 or a very strong family history of breast cancer increases your risk of prostate cancer. • Obesity: Obese people may have a higher risk of prostate cancer as the cancer is more likely to be aggressive and more likely to return after initial treatment.
How to Identify Prostate Cancer? • In the initial stage prostate cancer may cause no signs or symptoms. But, as prostate cancer advances it may cause signs and symptoms such as: • Trouble urinating • Decreased foar) and dutasteride (Avodart), may reduce the overall risk of developing prostate cancer in the stream of urine • Blood in the urine • Blood in the semen • Bone pain • Losing weight without trying • Erectile dysfunction • In rare cases, people with advanced stage of prostate cancer may also show no symptoms. Potential signs may also depend on the size of cancer and where it has spread in the body. In addition to the above symptoms, some uncommon symptoms include: • Bone pain • Unexplained weight loss • Tiredness • Continue to Read More Click Here
