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.
How much do veterinarians charge for cryosurgery?
Cryosurgery is not widely available in most typical veterinary clinics; where it is available, there is likely to be a surcharge for use of the technology on top of the normal charge for the surgery. However, there is no single price for cryosurgery since the cost will depend upon the specific surgical procedure.
What is a psa count of 6?
PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. The prostate is constantly renewing itself or growing. At the same time, the body is producing antigens to try to destroy the prostate as if it were a foreign body. The faster the prostate produces new cells, the faster the body produces PSA.. If there is a cancer in the prostate, the cancer cells are prostate cells, but they are produced much faster than normal prostate cells. As a result, when the man has prostate cancer, it can be detected by measuring his PSA. The PSA reading must be compared to the individual's normal PSA reading to know whether he has prostate cancer. When a prostate cancer is being treated, the PSA reading can be compared to earlier PSA readings to determine whether the cancer is receding or growing. A PSA of 6 is rather high and probably indicates there is prostate cancer growth.
What does the prostate feel like upon palpation in patients with prostate cancer?

How do you protect prostate from cancer with Diet?
I would recommend avoiding alcohol and eating foods high in zinc. In pretty much all cases of prostate cancer, what you eat will not matter in the long run. If you are genetically predisposed to get it, you will get it no matter what you eat.
Can a male get prostate cancer without testes?
HI,From my research, it may still be possible to develop prostate cancer without the testicles. I would say that it depends upon when the testicles were removed.Since prostate cancer is such a slow developing cancer, it would seem possible to have prostate cancer prior to testicle removal (Orchiectomy or bilateral orchiectomy). However, one of the cancer's fuels is testosterone and related hormones (androgens). WebMD states that "Hormone treatment for prostate cancer is used to stop the production of testosterone and all androgens either temporarily or permanently....treatments can be given in many ways. Injections or pills are one method. Drugs can stop the testicles from producing testosterone and protect cells from any other androgens that remain in the body. " This chemical castration has the same effect as an orchiectomy.However, if the testicles were removed prior to the typical age at which prostate cancer develops, there may not be enough testosterone in the body to nourish the cancer. So much of prostate cancer's presence is dependent upon heredity, diet, and environmental factors.Hope this helps.

Is magnet therapy suitable to prostate cancer?
All indications are that the prostate gland does not depend on magnetic fields to achieve or maintain cellular health. It's not too much of a stretch to therefore conclude that prostate cancer is not the result of a magnetic field deficiency. Nor would the prostate likely benefit from magnetic field application. Prostate cancer is more likely caused by chronic inflammation due to metabolic dysfunction, treatable by restoring normal metabolic function through reduced toxic exposure, better diet and lifestyle changes.
