INTRODUCTION
What you don't know about prostate cancer can be dangerous,even
deadly, to your health.
This advice seems to be obvious, but many men are attacked by this
disease without actually noticing it. Many well-known men are attacked by this
disease like Sidney Poiter , Bishop Desmond Tutu , Dr. Ben Carson and Harry
Belafonte who successfully treated for prostate cancer.Did you know that
Prostate cancer cannot be notice when it is still mild, because prostate
cancer do not shows any symptom when it is no yet too late.
BODY
Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland
in the male reproductive system. The cancer cells may metastasize (spread)
from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymphs
and nodes.
Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during
sexual intercourse, or erectile dysfunction. Other symptoms can potentially
develop during later stages of the disease.
Rates of detection of prostate cancers vary widely across the world, with
South and
although it is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in men, many never have
symptoms, undergo no therapy, and eventually die of other causes. This is
because cancer of the prostate is, in most cases, slow-growing, symptom free
and men with the condition often die of causes unrelated to the prostate cancer,
such as heart/circulatory disease, pneumonia, other unconnected cancers, or old
age. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the
development of prostate cancer. The presence of prostate cancer may be
indicated by symptoms, physical examination, prostate specific antigen (PSA), or
biopsy. There is controversy about the accuracy of the PSA test and the value of
screening. Suspected prostate cancer is typically confirmed by taking a biopsy of
the prostate and examining it under a microscope.
Further tests, such as CT scans and bone scans, may be performed to
determine whether prostate cancer has spread.
CONCLUSION
Being at risk of cancer is difficult to accept yet we still continue eating
unhealthy foods that leads us to this disease. We can therefore say that prostate
cancer is really dangerous to our health because of it's effect in our body but only
men get this kind of cancer because only men have a prostate gland.The effect
on men of this cancer is erectiledisfunction ,abnormal ejaculation ,abnormal
urinating at night.Well some says that the higher risk of prostate cancer are
in the african-american peole but we can't deny the fact that asians also have
some cases of this cancer.
