Prostate cancer develops in the\u00a0prostate, a small walnut size gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. This tiny gland secretes fluid that mixes with semen, keeping sperm healthy for\u00a0conception\u00a0and pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>

Prostate cancer is a serious disease.<\/span><\/p>

Fortunately, most people with prostate cancer get diagnosed before it spreads beyond their prostate gland. Treatment at this stage often eliminates the cancer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you\u2019re diagnosed with prostate cancer, it\u2019s most likely an\u00a0adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinomas start in the cells of glands \u2014 like your prostate \u2014 that secrete fluid. Rarely, prostate cancer forms from other types of cells.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Prostate cancer is common, second only to\u00a0skin cancer\u00a0as the most common cancer affecting men. For every 100 people with prostates, 13 will develop prostate cancer at some point in their lives. Most will live normal lives and eventually die from causes unrelated to prostate cancer. Some won\u2019t need treatment. For a broader understanding of prostate-related issues, visit our\u00a0Prostate Conditions<\/span>\u00a0page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        • Race and ethnicity: <\/strong>You\u2019re at greater risk if you\u2019re Black or of African ancestry. You\u2019re more likely to develop prostate cancers that are more likely to spread. You\u2019re also at greater risk of prostate cancer forming before age 50.<\/span><\/li>
        • Family history of prostate cancer:<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019re two to three times more likely to get prostate cancer if a close family member has it.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

            Screenings can help catch prostate cancer early. If you\u2019re average risk, you\u2019ll probably have your first screening test at age 50. You may need earlier screenings if you\u2019re in a high-risk group \u2013 start screening at 45.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

            Screening tests can show whether you have signs of prostate cancer that require more testing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

            • Digital rectal exam:<\/strong>\u00a0Your doctor can examine you for any bumps or hard areas that may mean cancer of the prostate.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
            • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test:<\/strong>\u00a0That is a cancer marker for prostate cancer. High PSA levels may indicate cancer \u2013 above 4. \u00a0Levels also rise if you have benign conditions, such as BPH or prostatitis.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

              When a high PSA is detected, the next two steps will be MRI of the prostate with possible biopsy when the MRI demonstrates a possible lesion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

              • Imaging<\/strong>:\u00a0An MRI can show very accurate images of your prostate gland, including suspicious areas that may be cancer. Imaging results can help your doctor decide whether to perform a biopsy.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
              • Biopsy<\/strong>: During a needle biopsy, a urologist removes a tissue sample with a special biopsy needle inserted in the lesion in the prostate for testing in a lab for cancer. A biopsy is the only sure way to diagnose prostate cancer.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>

                Grade and staging of prostate cancer. <\/span><\/span>Urologists use the Gleason score and cancer staging to determine how serious the cancer is and the types of treatments you need.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                The Gleason score allows your provider to rate how abnormal your cancer is. The more abnormal cells you have, the higher your Gleason score. The Gleason score allows your provider to determine the grade of your cancer, or its potential to be aggressive. Gleason 6 and less responds very well to treatment, Gleason 7 intermediate and Gleason 8 and higher have the more aggressive growth pattern.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Cancer staging allows your provider to determine how advanced your cancer is, or how much it\u2019s spread. Cancer may be in your prostate gland only (local), invading nearby structures (regional) or spread to other organs (metastasized). Prostate cancer most commonly spreads to your bones and lymph nodes.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Your treatment depends on multiple factors, including your overall condition, if the cancer\u2019s spread and how fast it\u2019s spreading. Depending on your treatments, you may work with various healthcare providers, including urologists, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists. Most prostate cancer diagnosed in the early stages can be cured with treatment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                You get screenings, scans and biopsies every one to three years to monitor cancer growth.

If your condition worsens, your provider can start treatment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                A radical prostatectomy removes a diseased prostate gland. It can often successfully eliminate prostate cancers that haven\u2019t spread. Your provider can recommend the best removal method if they believe you\u2019d benefit from this surgery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

                • Robotic radical prostatectomy: Robotic radical prostatectomy allows your provider to perform surgery through several tiny incisions.

                    Your provider may recommend systemic therapies if cancer has spread outside your prostate gland. Systemic therapies send substances throughout your body to destroy cancer cells or prevent their growth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

                    • Hormone therapy:<\/strong>\u00a0The hormone testosterone boosts cancer cell growth. Hormone therapy uses medications to combat testosterone\u2019s role in cancer cell growth. The medication works by preventing testosterone from reaching cancer cells or by reducing your testosterone levels. Alternatively, your provider may recommend surgery to remove your testicles (orchiectomy) so they can no longer make testosterone. This surgery is an option for people who cannot afford expensive medication.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
                    • Chemotherapy:<\/strong>\u00a0Chemotherapy uses medicines to destroy cancer cells. You may receive chemotherapy alone or with hormone therapy if your cancer has spread beyond your prostate.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                      • Incontinence:<\/strong>\u00a0You may leak urine when you cough or laugh or feel an urgent need to pass urine. This problem usually improves over the first few months provided you exercise the muscle controlling your bladder.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
                      • Erectile dysfunction:<\/strong>\u00a0Surgery, radiation and other treatments can damage the erectile nerves in your penis and affect your ability to get or maintain an erection. It\u2019s common to regain erectile function within a year or two (sometimes sooner). In the meantime, medications like Viagra or Cialis can help by increasing blood flow to your penis.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                        Your survival is excellent if prostate cancer is detected early. Almost everyone\u00a0 diagnosed with cancer that hasn\u2019t spread outside of their prostate has a normal life expectancy.<\/span><\/p>
