How to detect malignant prostate tumors early

Prostate tumors can be divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. They cause great harm to the health of men. Let's learn about the symptoms of malignant prostate tumors, hoping to help you.

The best way to detect malignant prostate tumors early is through annual rectal examination and PSA (prostate specific antigen) test, both of which are necessary examination methods in prostate screening. In most Asian countries, since there is no screening for malignant prostate tumors, we must have a full understanding of the various symptoms of malignant prostate tumors in order to achieve early detection and early treatment.

Usually, the clinical manifestations of malignant prostate tumors mainly include local symptoms and metastatic symptoms. When the prostate tumor causes obstruction of the ureter at the bladder neck, most patients will have weak urination, slow urine flow and urine retention, which is one of the symptoms of malignant prostate tumors. A small number of patients may occasionally have symptoms of hematuria and pain, which is caused by the invasion of the cancerous mass into the urethra or bladder mucosa and bleeding. When malignant prostate tumors reach the late stage, remote metastasis will generally occur, especially bone metastasis. When malignant prostate tumors metastasize to other parts of the body, patients often have very obvious symptoms.

Usually, the most common remote metastasis of malignant prostate tumors is bone metastasis. The affected bones are usually the lumbar spine, pelvis and femur. The most common symptoms are unexplained waist and back pain. When bone metastasis develops to a certain extent, it will also cause pathological fractures. Lymph nodes are also one of the destinations for malignant prostate tumor metastasis. Lymph node enlargement can cause compression of the inferior vena cava, and even lower limb edema can cause blood in the stool if it directly invades the rectum.

In addition to understanding the above-mentioned symptoms of malignant prostate tumors, male friends should also undergo rectal examination and PSA test every year, so as to enable early diagnosis and early treatment.
