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 East Asia detecting less frequently than in Europe, and especially the

United States.^[1] Prostate cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty 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.

C.CONCEPT MAP

INTRODUCTION

Being diagnosed with prostate cancer can be a life-altering experience. It requires making some very difficult decisions about treatments that can affect not only the life of the man diagnosed, but also the lives of his family members in significant ways for many years to come.

To help men and women know where to begin, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has written An Introduction to Prostate Cancer and put together a kit which features Conversation Tips, a series of pointers and questions that can be used to start a conversation about prostate cancer. In addition, the Kit includes a list of FAQs About Prostate Cancer, and other materials designed to help both men and women learn about prostate cancer.

MY EMBARRASSING MOMENT

It was about the end of school year 2008-2009 when the SSG officers of MFNHS headed by Ms.Jane Layza Domingo,the president,conducted a Meeting De Avance for the next set of SSG officers for the next school which is this year.And I run for thr secretary position under the SHARP party.i was very nervous and excited at that moment.At first it was like that were giving our speeches.In the long run,question given by the press became personal and complicated.I never expected that my co-candidates for that certain position reveal the lapses she had seen within me.It was not really true.And that accusation is really a big deal to me.it deeply touches my heart.Imagine in front of the crowd you will be criticized and called ¨great cheater¨who cheats all the items of the test from number 1 up to the last items of the test.Oh my...?how dare she is to do such thing..? So because of that,my temper came to its end.I cried out of the crowd and explained to them that I´m innocent for such accusation.and that ended up this way then the teacher requested to end up that argument of ours.

Glen Mark's personal account

I was very excited on that day because my long awaited day had come and it was the time that I will join a horse racing it happened on last June 12,2009..Then our barangay chairman sponsored us a uniform as Lingion cowboys..My heart starts to trembled with fear and excitement then there it was it is our turn to race..I can't understand what I feel but then when it started my fear change into perseverance but after the race I got the second place..That was the most memorable event that I will never forgot...

SENTENCE OUTLINE

PROSTATE CANCER

I.Definition

Several types of cells are found in the prostate, but over 99% of prostate cancers develop from the gland cells. Gland cells make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen. The medical term for a cancer that starts in gland cells is adenocarcinoma.

A.Staging
if the biopsy finds cancer, more tests may be done to see whether the cancer has spread and if so, how far. This process is called staging. Staging is very important because your treatment and the outlook for your recovery depend on the stage of your cancer.

1.1.Survival rates

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) keeps a database of survival statistics for different types of cancer. This database does not group prostate cancers by AJCC stage, but instead groups cancers into local, regional, and distant stages.

5-year relative survival by stage at the time the cancer is found

• local 100%
• regional 100%
• distant 31%

1.2.surgery

Good candidates for surgery to treat prostate cancer have one or more of the following characteristics:
