More about Prostate Cancer

Types

Most cases of prostate cancer are a type of cancer called an adenocarcinoma. This is a cancer that grows in the tissue of a gland, such as the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is also categorized by how fast it grows. It has two types of growths: Aggressive, or fast growing, or Nonaggressive, or slow growing. With nonaggressive prostate cancer, the tumor either doesn’t grow or grows very little over time. With aggressive prostate cancer, the tumor can grow quickly and may spread to other areas of the body, such as the bones.

Symptoms

Some forms of prostate cancer are nonaggressive, so you may not have any symptoms. However, advanced prostate cancer often causes symptoms. If you have any of the following signs or symptoms, don’t hesitate to call your doctor. Some symptoms of prostate cancer can be caused by other conditions, so you’ll need an examination. They can make sure you receive the correct diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms of prostate cancer can include urinary problems, sexual problems, and pain and numbness. Early signs of prostate cancer: While any of the above symptoms can be your first indication that you have prostate cancer, urinary symptoms are more likely than other symptoms to appear early. It’s important to keep in mind that most of these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions that aren’t cancer. These conditions include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis. So, while it’s important to keep tabs on any symptoms you may have, remember that there’s a good chance they’re not caused by cancer. That said, neither of these conditions causes blood to appear in your urine. If you have this symptom, call your doctor right away. Blood in your urine may be caused by something other than cancer, but it’s a good idea to get it diagnosed as soon as possible.
