How is prostate cancer detected?
Prostate cancer can be detected in one of the following ways:
1) PSA test, with abnormally high score, usually above 8
2) biopsy of prostatic tissue, and presence of cancer cells in tissue
3) Abnormalities in prostate gland during exam, such as enlarged prostate, bumps on the prostate, sore when touched during exam, or prostate tissue is hard and leathery.
When any of the issues in #3 are detected, a biopsy is given to confirm presence of cancer.
Do biopsies cause prostate cancer to spread?
There is no evidence showing that the biopsy will spread prostate cancer if cancer is present. And even if it was the case that a biopsy may spread the cancer, the benefits of detecting the cancer far outwieghs the possibility of the cancer being spread around. I mean, finding out that there is cancer means that treatment can commence. By not finding out that you have cancer, it will still eventually spread all on its own anyway.
Hahah
aahahahaha you have cancer

In modern times the most commonly known type of Japanese sword is the Shinogi-Zukuri katana, which is a single-edged and usually curved long sword traditionally worn by samurai from the 15th century onwards. Other types of Japanese swords include: tsurugi or ken, which is a double-edged sword;[4] Ådachi, nodachi, tachi, which are older styles of a very long single-edged sword; wakizashi, a medium sized sword; and the tanto which is an even smaller knife sized sword . Although they are pole-mounted weapons, the naginata and yari are considered part of the nihontÅ family due to the methods by which they are forged.
Japanese swords are still commonly seen today; antique and modernly-forged swords can easily be found and purchased. Modern, authentic nihontÅ are made by a few hundred swordsmiths. Many examples can be seen at an annual competition hosted by the All Japan Swordsmith Association,under the auspices of the NihontÅ Bunka ShinkÅ KyÅkai (Society for the promotion of Japanese Sword Culture).

Prostate cancer is a disease, not a condition that can be "caught" by someone else. So, he is not contagious. First off any doctor that makes such a statement (scaring the wits out of your friend) without further testing is NOT a good doctor and I suggest your friend get a second opinion. No, there is no danger in having oral sex, but, if your friend has prostate cancer (if caught early it's highly cureable) he may have to go on hormone treatment or another form of treatment and this is not a problem, but should he have radiation treatment (if the cancer has slightly progressed) then your friend would find oral sex painful. Also, having radiation treatment can cause the immune system of the patient to become weakened and they may have the odd infection and it is for these reasons ONLY you may have to sustain from sex of any type.
When the prostate is removed is the sexual desire if an erection is impossible?
Removing the prostate does not mean male sexual function is impossible.
There are two nerves that run along the sides of the prostate, and these nerves control a man's ability to have an erection.
If the prostate is removed and the nerves are left intact and not damaged, full sexual function can be restored within 3-12 months.
Even if an erection is not possible, sexual desire can still exist. If the couple are in a loving relationship, they can still have a sexual relationship with toys or other methods.
Lack of sexual desire and negative thoughts related to prostate removal and lack of ability to achieve an erection are all in the head...change your thoughts and this changes the outcome!
Can anyone get brain cancer from brain cancer patient?
No, not under any normal circumstances.
No type of cancer spreads from person to person under normal conditions.
The only theoretical way for it to spread would be from surgical implantation of the cancer cells between two patients and even than there is a chance the implanted cells may be destroyed by the implant patients immune system.
