Three common diagnostic methods for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor among men. Early detection of prostate cancer is the key to treatment. What are the diagnostic methods for prostate cancer ? Here are some common diagnostic methods for prostate cancer.

In general, the common diagnostic methods for prostate cancer are:

1. Rectal examination: Rectal examination is the main method for diagnosing prostate cancer. Diagnosis can be obtained in 80% of cases. Rectal examination of patients over 45 years old can detect prostate cancer at an early stage and increase the surgical rate.

2. Microscopic examination: 1) Urine smear to look for prostate cancer cells. This method of diagnosing prostate cancer cannot replace prostate biopsy and can only be used as an auxiliary method. 2) Prostate fluid smear cytology. This method of diagnosing prostate cancer has a high accuracy rate (some reports say it can reach 86%). 3) Leukocyte Adherenee Inhibition (LAI) test. This test is recognized as a relatively simple and sensitive method for diagnosing prostate cancer.

3. Biochemical examination: It is also a common method for diagnosing prostate cancer, including 1) acid phosphatase (PAP) determination; 2) bone marrow acid phosphatase (BMAP) determination; 3) prostate specific antigen (PSA); 4) seminal plasma protein (r-Sm) determination; 5) serum creatine kinase (CK-BB) determination; 6) alkaline phosphatase determination; 7) relative enzyme index; 8) carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA); 9) hormone receptor determination; 10) immune protein analysis; 11) lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme (LDH) examination; 12) urine polyamine substance (Polyaraine) determination; 13) urine biochemical hydroxyproline (HydroxyProline) determination; 14) plasma zinc determination and vitamin A/zinc ratio.

The above is an introduction to the common diagnostic methods for prostate cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Once you have prostate cancer, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
