Do woman get prostate cancer?
Women do not classically get prostate cancer as cancer of the prostate is classified as a disease of the prostate gland of the male reproductive system. However, in 2002 the female Skene's Gland was officially renamed the female prostate as it was found to be homologous in function. Both male and female prostates produce Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and contribute to the ejaculate fluid. Six cases of adenocarcinoma have been observed as originated from the female prostate that strongly resemble that of classical male prostate cancer. Serum tests showed elevated levels of PSA, typical in prostate cancer.
Is there a correlation between prostate cancer and prostate hypertrophy?
Prostate cancer and prostate hypertrophy—commonly known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—both affect the prostate gland, but they are not directly correlated. BPH is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly occurs with aging, while prostate cancer involves malignant cell growth. Having prostate hypertrophy does not cause prostate cancer, and most men with BPH will never develop prostate cancer. However, the two conditions can exist at the same time and may share similar symptoms, such as urinary difficulty, which is why proper evaluation is important. Elevated PSA levels can occur in both conditions, making accurate diagnosis essential. Specialized centers like Robotic Oncology emphasize advanced diagnostic techniques to clearly distinguish between benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer, ensuring patients receive appropriate, targeted treatment based on their specific condition.
