Prostate cancer screening

purpose of this paper is to discuss the significance of Prostate cancer, anatomy and physiology systems affected by Prostate cancer, the disease pathology, and how the disease is being controlled. Within the significance of Prostate cancer there is incidence rate and prevalence of the disease, there are national trends that are by age, gender, race, and geographic region. In the anatomy and physiology systems that are affected by Prostate cancer, there is which bodily system that the disease affects

Although it is possible for cancer to strike at any age, most patients with invasive cancer are over 65. The increased risk is believed to be due to the random chance of developing any cancer, the likelihood of surviving the first cancer, the same risk factors that produced the first cancer, unwanted side effects of treating the first cancer (particularly radiation therapy), and to better compliance with screening. As we age, there is an increase in the number of possible cancer-causing mutations in our

Prostate cancer Introduction Prostate cancer is a cancerous tumor in the prostate gland, a small walnut-sized gland in men that makes seminal fluid, which helps carry sperm out of the body. The prostate is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out through the penis. Prostate tumors can be benign or cancerous. With benign tumors, the prostate gets bigger and squeezes the urethra, interrupting the normal flow of urine. This condition, called benign

our doctor that my father had prostate cancer. We got that news like thunder in our ears, because just one year before we had lost our sister to breast cancer, and we still remember how much pain and suffering the cancer had caused. As a result nobody in our family believed that we were going to lose our father either. My father suffered prostate cancer for nearly two years, because the cancer had already spread to his bones. Before my father had discovered the cancer, he suffered from pain in his

has been always an indication that coffee could be related in preventing cancer risk. Therefore, many studies were involved to check the accuracy of coffee and its effect on cancer especially prostate cancer (CaP). According to the article Coffee Consumption and Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness among African & Caucasian American in a Population-Based Study, there were two studies that examined the effects of Coffee on cancer risk; Meta-analysis and a report from the Health Professionals follow-up study

The prostate is a walnut sized shaped gland surrounding the top of the urethra whose growth and function is controlled by hormones such-as testosterone. A normal prostate in adult men has a mean weight of about 11g. The function of the prostate is to produce a majority of seminal fluid (Marker et al. 2003). Prostate cancer (PCa) is the commonest malignancy tumour in men and is second in cancer related death after lung cancer. PCa is mainly adenocarcinomas originating from the cortex of the gland

the mammary gland and prostate cancers, it may not prevent it, but also raises the negative effects. Although the neutering effects on the canine cannot be generalized because there are huge variations between each breed, some of the negative effects can be prevented by neutering the canine at different life stages. Even though neutering has been performed for quite a time, the overall effects of sterilization on the health of the canine is not clear. Although prostate cancer was found to be significantly

In the early stages, symptoms indicating that prostate cancer may have developed are rarely seen, but there are some clinical signs and symptoms that can help determine the presence of this cancer. A neoplasm is a new and abnormal growth of tissue in some part of the body. “If the neoplasm is large enough to encroach on the bladder neck, signs and symptoms of urinary obstruction occur (difficulty and frequency of urination, urinary retention, and decreased size and force of the urinary stream)”

It is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States, and it is second leading cause of cancer deaths in American
