Overview of prostate cancer related knowledge

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor disease that occurs in male friends. The incidence rate of prostate cancer in the United States ranks first among all malignant tumor diseases, and the mortality rate caused by prostate cancer is second only to lung cancer. Although the incidence rate of prostate cancer in Chinese men is lower than that in European and American countries, relevant statistics show that the incidence rate of prostate has shown an upward trend, so male friends must pay attention to it.

Although prostate cancer is different from many malignant tumors, it generally does not show obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease, so it is difficult for people to detect it. However, as the disease progresses, the symptoms caused by prostate cancer will become more and more diverse, and we must pay attention to identifying them. The onset of prostate cancer will cause male patients to have the following symptoms:

1. The onset of prostate cancer can cause symptoms of urethral obstruction in patients, mainly manifested as urine retention, difficulty urinating, hematuria, urinary incontinence, and painful urination, etc.

2. In addition, the onset of prostate cancer can also cause patients to experience some local invasive abnormal symptoms. The first area affected by prostate cancer is the patient's bladder-rectal gap, and the tissues contained in the bladder-rectal gap include the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and the lower end of the ureter, etc. If the tumor caused by prostate cancer compresses the vas deferens, it will cause the patient to experience symptoms of testicular pain, back pain, and ejaculation pain.

3. The onset of prostate cancer can lead to bone metastasis, which can cause pathological fractures or symptoms of nerve compression in patients.

The occurrence and development of prostate cancer, a malignant tumor, is closely related to the patient's own androgen, and prostate cancer can spread through the lymphatic, blood and local areas. Therefore, we must strive to effectively diagnose and treat prostate cancer in its early stages, so as to effectively increase the chances of curing prostate cancer. In addition, the actual development of each prostate cancer patient is very different, so we must formulate different treatment plans according to different situations, so as to achieve better treatment results.
