Elder Care Services and Prostate Cancer The Centers for Disease Control says that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men (other than skin cancer). Each year a man ages, his chances of developing prostate cancer increases. The good news is that prostate cancer does not typically lead to further health problems and spreads slowly. In fact, many doctors are now recommending, especially in seniors, that the cancer is monitored (an action known as active surveillance) and not treated

to induce prostate cancer by Dr. Bosland. Prostate Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S and is responsible for 10% of the death in men because of cancer. Dr. Maarten C.Bosland at UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) spoke about his study of prostate carcinogenesis on rats and deduced a working hypothesis which might help pinpointing the main cause of this cancer. He based his study on the fact that castration and estrogen treatment can lead to regression of prostate cancer and

A prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Prostate cancer is cancer that forms in tissue in that gland, it usually occurs in older men. Cancer comes in forms of tumors, which is an abnormal growth of cells. Malignant tumors are the cancerous tumors of the two different types of tumors. Can cause pain and interfere with normal function, but they can also cause other systems in the body to act abnormally. Malignant tumors can invade nearby

Abstract Prostate cancer is one of the major health concerns of the public. Worldwide prostate cancer has affected a big portion of the population and has become an issue for many males all around the world. Prostate cancer refers to the malignant growth of glandular cells located in the prostate. At the age of 85, a man is said to have a 1 in 5 chances of developing prostate cancer sometime in their life.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer share a few similarities, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Along with enlargement of prostate gland that causes urinary symptoms such as, frequent urination, hesitancy, dribbling, and frequent nighttime urination. However, they are quite different which is why more tests need to be done to confirm one or the other condition. These two diseases are also similar in the fact that they both cause an enlargement of the prostate. However with

PSA levels can rise dramatically with a prostate infection, but they return to the reference range after the infection has healed. A vigorous prostate massage also can produce a brief elevation of PSA. Low concentrations of PSA have been identified in urethral glands, endometrium, normal breast tissue, breast milk, salivary gland tissue, and in the urine of males and females. PSA also is found in the serum of women with breast, lung, or uterine cancer and in some patients with renal cancer. Serine

diagnose for prostate cancer. He is tasked with performing numerous tests to verify the accurateness of the medical devices detecting prostate cancer since some medical devices are prone to have questionable results. During his research, he notices an alarming change in a specific patient results and is unsure of how to interpret the results. His uncertainty is due to the patients’ results changing from being consistently negative to being consistently positive for early stage prostate cancer. Milo

Abstract: Prostate cancer is the leading mortality cancer amongst males. This cancer is due to the signaling increase of androgen and androgen receptors, which is a gene that associates with the risk of prostate cancer. Over expression of androgen receptors occurs in androgen independent cancer. Prostate tumors advance to androgen-independent state where they progress in the absence of circulating testosterone. Typically, treatments for prostate cancer are surgery and radiation. Most effective

The prostate is a gland only found in males. It sits below the urinary bladder and in front of the rectum. As males age the prostate changes with it , it grows rapidly during puberty, filed by the rise in male hormones such are testosterone .The prostate is usually stay around the same size or grows slowly in adults, as long as the hormones are present. In young men its about the size of a walnut but it can grow much larger in older men. The prostates job is to make some of the fluid that protects
