How does cancer spread through the body?

cells can either travel in the blood stream, settle somewhere else, multiply and form a tumor, or an existing tumor can grow "roots" if you will, and a tumor can grow off of a root, or on the end of it. These new sites to which the cancer has spread are known as metastatic sites, and the cancer that spread through the process of metastasis (or disseminating, spreading) is referred to as "secondary cancer". For example, cancer that originates in the bone as a malignant osteoma can spread to the bone marrow and become secondary bone marrow cancer (or osteomyeloma; "oste/o-" means bone, "myelo-" means marrow, and "-oma" means a tumorous growth, indicating cancer.

After prostate surgery can you wear shorts with a catheter?

sure, but youll be the only moron with a p*ss tube snaking down your leg

Edit not by the original idiot:

Yes you can. There are several alternatives. There are bags that fit inside your shorts called belly bags. They are a good alternative for allot of people but I have a super-pubic catheter so that gets in the way. You could also use a small size leg bag and put it either inside your underwear or hang it from your waistband with something like paperclips or even on your leg if the shorts are long enough. I either do that or wear an incontinent product and put the catheter down inside of it and change it as necessary. Either of the last 2 work good if you will be swimming. Just look for something very light absorbency and good quality. I use the CVS generic of GoodNights (Sleep-Wells). They fit low on the waist and do not come apart or get too thick.

What is pancratic cancer?

Some research has shown that exposure to secondhand smoke may also increase pancreatic cancer risk. Studies in Scandinavia have shown that chewing snus (a type of smokeless tobacco) increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. Researchers think that up to 1 in 5 cases of pancreatic cancer in Swedish men may be due to smokeless tobacco. A large Cancer Research UK study looking at lifestyle factors found that nearly 1 in 3 pancreatic cancers (30%) may be linked to smoking. A large British study showed that people smoking up to 25 cigarettes a day have roughly double the risk of someone who has never smoked, while people smoking more than 25 cigarettes a day have three times the risk. Stopping smoking reduces the risk. A large European study showed that 5 years after stopping smoking, pancreatic cancer risk is the same as for a person who has never smoked.

Long term inflammation of the pancreasLong term inflammation of the pancreas is called chronic pancreatitis. This condition increases the risk of pancreatic cancer, although overall it isn't responsible for a large number of cases. Chronic pancreatitis means having an inflamed pancreas over a long period. It is most often caused by long term drinking of alcohol, although this type of chronic pancreatitis is less likely to increase pancreatic cancer risk than other types of pancreatitis. Pancreatitis that runs in families (hereditary pancreatitis)This is a rare condition, causing inflammation of the pancreas. It is caused by a faulty gene that can be inherited from one parent. About 5 out of 10 of these people will have cancer of the pancreas before they are 75 years old. Stomach ulcerHaving a stomach ulcer increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. This could be due to the types of bacteria that form in the stomach if you have an ulcer. They can produce cancer causing chemicals known as nitrosamines. People who have an operation for a stomach ulcer have double the risk of pancreatic cancer compared to the general population. DiabetesPeople with diabetes may have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer but their risk is still small. Diabetes is a disease of the pancreatic cells that normally make insulin. It is possible that a growing cancer causes some cases of diabetes, rather than the diabetes causing the cancer. Pancreatic cancer specialists believe that anyone over 50 who develops diabetes and has unexplained weight loss should be investigated for other pancreatic disease. Most people who develop diabetes late in life are overweight, so diabetes and weight loss together are more unusual.

Remember - diabetes is a common disease. Even with the possible increased risk, the vast majority of people with diabetes will not get cancer of the pancreas.

Inflammatory bowel conditionsUlcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic bowel diseases. They both cause inflammation in the bowel. Having very severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease for many years increases your risk of pancreatic cancer. Tooth or gum diseaseSome research has shown an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in people who have tooth or gum disease. It is not clear why this is the case.

What does a psa measure?

A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures the level of PSA in the blood, which is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels of PSA can indicate various conditions, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostatitis. However, high PSA levels are not exclusively indicative of cancer, so further evaluation is often required for an accurate diagnosis. This test is commonly used in the screening and monitoring of prostate health.
