Everyone is different, however, my father was told he would live another 9 months if he opted for chemo. So based on his case, add 9 months or so to the lifespan of the average patient.
If you have prostate cancer you need to see a doctor immediately.
It varies from person to person. But my father lasted almost 8 years before he died from prostate cancer.
lung cancer is in the lungs, prostate cancer is in the prostate.
Well, my father is still alive. He has been fighting prostate cancer for 15+! years. Since about 2 years it has turned into advanced prostate cancer with multiple metastases. He is still fighting. Originally the doctors gave him 8 to 10 years after having removal of the cancerous prostate. I dont think anyone knows exactly. But his good spirits, positive attitude and not giving up enabled him to still live comfortable. He is not able to do some things, like long walks etc., but he is still alive and still fighting.
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.

PC3 cells are a human prostate adenocarcinoma cell line frequently used in cancer research. They are derived from metastatic bone lesions and are known for their androgen receptor-independent growth, making them valuable for studying hormone-independent prostate cancer. PC3 cells exhibit aggressive behavior and are commonly used to investigate mechanisms of prostate cancer progression and potential therapeutic targets.
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.
