There are several types of prostate cancer. What are the causes of each type of prostate cancer?

We all know that prostate cancer is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. One point that needs to be paid attention to is that this disease is difficult to detect in the early stage and is often confused with diseases such as prostatitis. However, when the symptoms and manifestations are already serious, most patients are already in the late stage. So how many types of prostate cancer are diagnosed in clinical practice? Let's take a look at the experts' answers.

In clinical practice, prostate cancer is mainly divided into four types: latent cancer, hidden cancer, incidental cancer and clinical cancer. Patients with different types of prostate cancer have different symptoms and complications after the onset of the disease. The specific symptoms and manifestations of different types of prostate cancer are: Latent prostate cancer: The patient has no clinical symptoms of prostate cancer in the symptom list before death, and the presence of prostate cancer is only discovered during autopsy.

Hidden prostate cancer: In clinical practice, this type of patient first discovers signs of metastatic cancer, and after a systematic clinical examination, prostate cancer is found to be the primary lesion. Some patients will have pathological fractures as the first symptom after the onset of the disease, and some patients will metastasize to the lungs, kidneys, brain, adrenal glands and other tissues. At the same time, the patient will also show a series of symptoms of the corresponding metastatic organs. The same patient will eventually be found to have prostate cancer as the primary lesion after examination.

Incidental prostate cancer: It is diagnosed as non-malignant prostate disease in clinical practice. In clinical practice, it is mainly the specimens after surgical resection of prostate hyperplasia. The presence of incidental prostate cancer is found through relevant pathological examination.

Clinical prostate cancer: This type of patient is commonly clinically diagnosed with prostate cancer, and pathology also confirms prostate cancer.

The above is an introduction to the types of prostate cancer. In real life, no matter what kind of prostate disease occurs, patients should not take it lightly. They must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. At the same time, they also need to pay attention to various care measures in life and establish a healthy lifestyle to reduce the incidence of prostate disease.
