Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland.
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland. Some prostate cancers grow slowly, while others may be more aggressive.
Possible symptoms may include:
These symptoms can also be caused by non-cancerous prostate conditions.
Diagnosis and staging usually combine examination, imaging and a tissue test. Depending on your symptoms and reports, your oncologist may recommend:
The biopsy confirms the diagnosis; scans show the size and spread of the disease, which together decide the stage.
Staging describes how large the cancer is and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Along with the pathology report, biomarkers and your overall health, the stage guides whether treatment aims to cure the cancer, control it over a longer period, or relieve symptoms.
Treatment depends on PSA level, biopsy findings, cancer grade, stage, age, general health and patient preferences.
