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.
PSA is just one indicator of prostate cancer. It is possible to have prostate cancer and have a normal PSA reading.
Masterbation does not cause prostate cancer.
