Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Prostate cancer may be asymptomatic in its early stages, meaning that it causes no symptoms at all. After the cancer has advanced, symptoms may begin to appear. Common prostate cancer symptoms include:

Prostate cancer has many symptoms that affect the urinary system. As the prostate increases in size due to cancer, it can impede the urinary tract.

Prostate Cancer Causes

Like most forms of cancer, it is not clear what causes prostate cancer. There are, however, certain prostate cancer risk factors. These factors may lead to an increased chance of developing prostate cancer or a prostate tumor.

Prostate cancer risk factors include:

  • Advanced age
  • Family history
  • Obesity
  • Genetic factors

Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer treatment typically begins with tests and screenings. Not all doctors and medical societies recommend regular prostate screens, but some do. Types of prostate screenings include the digital rectal exam (DRE) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.

If an abnormal prostate is found on those tests, an ultrasound or prostate biopsy will be performed. If cancer is present, then treatment can begin. Treatment will vary depending on how advanced the prostate cancer is.

Types of prostate cancer treatment include:

  • Radiation therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Testosterone-blocking medication
  • Orchiectomy (testicle removal)
  • Prostate removal surgery (prostatectomy)
  • Immunotherapy

Ultimately, the best prostate treatment will vary depending on the individual patient. For early stages of prostate cancer, radiation therapy or testosterone therapy may be enough to stop cancer from spreading. If there is a major risk of metastasis (cancer spreading to other parts of the body), then surgical removal may be necessary.
