What is prostate cancer?

前列腺癌是一种生长缓慢的疾病,位于膀胱下方,如果不及时治疗,可能会导致严重的问题. 前列腺癌是仅次于皮肤癌的男性第二大常见癌症. Men over the age of 55 are more likely to develop the disease.  Cancer can become more aggressive and spread beyond the prostate gland. The survival rate greatly increases with early detection.

What are the primary symptoms?

Prostate cancer has increasing problems when left undiagnosed. 由于前列腺的位置,很难早期发现. Not all growths within the prostate are cancerous or indicate cancer. 当癌症发展到更严重的程度时,男性报告的症状如下:

  • Painful urination or ejaculation
  • Weak or inconsistent urine flow
  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
  • Blood in semen or urine
  • More frequent urination at night time

你的初级保健医生可能会进行前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)测试来测量前列腺内的PSA水平. 该测试显示PSA水平升高,可能显示非癌性疾病的迹象. 这可以是前列腺炎症、前列腺炎或良性前列腺增生. 如果PSA水平升高,医生会要求进行活检,以便进行前列腺癌的下一步治疗.

How is prostate cancer diagnosed?

最有效的检测和诊断方法是通过医生的筛查. The first screening starts when you turn age 55 and beyond. 家族史、吸烟史或肥胖史确实显示更大的可能性. Screening for prostate cancer tests:

  • Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test
  • Rectal Exam
  • MRI-Guided Prostate Biopsy

核磁共振引导下的前列腺活检能让医生更好地发现肿瘤,并减少遗漏严重疾病的机会.

  • Patient getting MRI scan

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    核磁共振成像是一种无痛成像程序,用于帮助医生诊断各种疾病. In many cases, 它提供了关于身体内部结构的不同信息,这些信息是通过其他成像程序无法看到的.

Most men develop prostate cancer at an older age for no known reason. Taking the healthy approach now will reduce chances of cancer growth. 如果你有前列腺癌的家族史,那么采取这些额外的步骤可以帮助限制你的结果:

  • Regular prostate screenings
  • Daily/ weekly exercise routine
  • Balanced & nutritious diet
  • Never smoke or quit before it gets worse
