There are no current medications to treat prostate cancer, but some good ones are in testing. Current medications only prolong the life by a few months of men with advanced prostate cancer. Currently, prostate cancer is treated by surgery and chemotherapy along with a prostate healthy diet.
A high PSA level in a blood test may indicate prostate cancer, but it can also be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions such as prostate enlargement or infection. Further testing, such as a biopsy, is typically needed to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer typically does not show up on a standard blood test. However, a specific blood test called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test can indicate elevated levels of PSA, which may suggest prostate issues, including cancer. Elevated PSA levels are not definitive for cancer, as they can also result from benign conditions. Therefore, further testing is usually required for an accurate diagnosis.
No. Someone having an enlarged prostate does not mean they will develop cancer.
Masterbation does not cause prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer treatments will make you impotent.
Prostate Cancer Foundation was created in 1993.
PSA is just one indicator of prostate cancer. It is possible to have prostate cancer and have a normal PSA reading.
The increase in prostate cancer diagnoses in 1990 can largely be attributed to the widespread adoption of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, which became more common around that time. This screening led to the detection of previously undiagnosed cases, particularly in men who may not have exhibited symptoms. Additionally, increased awareness and education about prostate cancer likely contributed to more men seeking medical evaluations.
