Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the leading malignancy in men over the age of 50. It is due to the abnormal proliferation of prostatic tissue cells. It is often a slow-growing cancer and remains localized at first. Later, it may extend as it spreads to nearby tissues and organs and then metastasizes to other more distant organs (lymph nodes, bones, lungs, etc.) via the bloodstream and the lymphatic system.



CAUSES OF PROSTATE CANCER :

The cause of prostate cancer isn't fully understood at present. But there are certain factors that make prostate cancer more likely : age > 50, family history of cancer, Race i.e. If you are African-Caribbean or African-American you are at highest risk and / or a high fat diet.



SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE CANCER :

Prostate cancer often has no symptoms, particularly in the early stages.

Some men may never have any symptoms or problems from the disease. Some types of prostate cancer can be slow-growing and may not become a serious threat to your health. Whereas others are a faster-growing and aggressive form and can be more harmful.

You are more likely to get symptoms if and when your cancer grows in the prostate gland and narrows the urethra. Symptoms then include:

1. problems urinating such as difficulty in starting to pass urine, a weak, sometimes intermittent flow of urine, dribbling of urine before and after urinating, a frequent or urgent need to pass urine or a need to get up several times in the night to urinate
