What is prostate cancer and what are the symptoms and signs of prostate cancer?
-
In prostate cancer, 95% of the cases develop a growth in the cells of the glandular ducts of the prostate. It is often a slow-growing tumor that, due to its location - usually on the outer edge of the prostate where it does not interfere with other organs - in many cases initially does not cause any symptoms. Sometimes the following signs and symptoms occur with prostate cancer
Diagnostics: rectal examination and measurement of PSA levels
-
If prostate cancer is suspected, your doctor can proceed to the first or the first two tests. The first examination is also called a rectal examination. The doctor feels with his finger through your anus whether the prostate shows abnormalities. This is usually experienced as unpleasant, but not painful. The GP can decide to have a blood test; the so-called PSA test. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen
Treatment: internal radiotherapy, brachytherapy or curie therapy
