What is Prostate Cancer Naples?

Prostate cancer is when cancer developes in the prostate gland.  Believe it or not it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths for males in the U.S. About 11% of all men will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at some point.

There are two primary types of growth in the prostate; benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).

Benign (like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH):

  • Are rarely a threat to life
  • Don’t invade the tissues around them
  • Don’t spread to other parts of the body
  • Can be removed and can grow back very slowly (but usually don’t grow back)

Malignant growths (prostate cancer):

  • May sometimes be a threat to life
  • Can spread to nearby organs and tissues (such as the bladder or rectum)
  • Can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body (like lymph nodes or bone)
  • Often can be removed but sometimes grow back
Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer can spread by breaking apart from the tumor and can travel through blood vessels or lymph nodes to extend to other parts of the body.  Cancer cells that have spread can then attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors and cause damage there.

Prostate Cancer Symptoms

Often, in its early stages, prostate cancer has no symptoms.  As symptoms do reveal themselves, often it will be enlarged prostate or BPH, or other symptoms will be unrelated to BPH or even urinary tract problems.

Other Prostate Cancer Symptoms include:

  • Dull pain in the lower pelvic area
  • Frequent urinating
  • Trouble urinating, pain, burning, or weak urine flow
  • Blood in the urine (Hematuria)
  • Painful ejaculation
  • Pain in the lower back, hips or upper thighs
  • Loss of appetite
  • Loss of weight
  • Bone pain
