- A Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Can Save Your Life By : Abigail Franks
If you experience certain symptoms like frequent night urination, blood in your urine or semen, pains in your lower back, in your pelvis or in your upper thighs all this could be symptoms of prostatitis, a non cancerous swelling of the prostate gland or it could be prostate cancer.
Now there's no need to panic but the fact is that many who choose to ignore signs and symptoms condemn themselves to living with the uncertainty. This has to be worse than actually being diagnosed and knowing if you have prostate cancer or not. - A Psa Test For Prostate Cancer Saved My Life By : Stacey Moore
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997. I had been getting yearly PSA (prostate specific antigen) tests. Even though I had no symptoms, the PSA test came up positive. This is almost always the case when prostate cancer is caught early enough to be curable. I was treated successfully with surgery and radiation. Without the PSA test my cancer almost assuredly would have gone to an advanced stage, beyond hope of a cure.
Before the PSA test came into use, men were more often coming to their physicians with symptoms, and therefore with advanced prostate cancer. The death rate from prostate cancer has been falling steadily since the advent of the PSA test. For example, one of the Austrian states introduced PSA mass screening, reducing mortality from prostate cancer by 40 percent. - Alternative Prostate Cancer Treatment By : Bob-Miles

If you've been told that you have prostate cancer, then you've probably had The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test, been physically checked and probably have already had a biopsy performed. Once all this has established your condition, your cancer is then assigned a score.
These scores determine what stage your cancer has progressed. During the biopsy, the lab will assign what's called a Gleason score helps the doctor in determining what stage your prostate cancer is currently in. The appropriateness of any treatment is dependant on the advancement of your prostate cancer. Staging and the Gleason score will help determine which treatment program is right for you. - Appropriate Prostate Cancer Treatment In Men Over 80 By : Abigail Franks
I read recently what one doctor said recently that prostate cancer in men over 80 years old should not be a serious issue like in men under 40 years old. This makes sense and given what we know about prostate cancer being a slow-growing malignancy. If you have read about prostate cancer at all, you must be aware that there are certain stages, or levels of seriousness, that are apparent as the disease develops.
People who panic about prostate cancer might be inclined toward aggressive treatment for a man over 80. Aggressive treatment has side effects that may dramatically alter the quality of life of that special senior citizen. Unlike a man under 40, who is much more able to tolerate an aggressive treatment regimen if deemed appropriate. - Best Way To Get Prostate Cancer News About The Latest New Treatments By : Abigail Franks

(get All Men Educated About Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials) Program Helps Men By : Stacey Moore
A nationwide campaign has been launched by the National Prostate Cancer Coalition (NPCC) called "Get in the G.A.M.E.-Get All Men Educated about Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials" to help men with prostate cancer understand that clinical trials may be an important option to consider. Talking with a doctor about clinical trials is particularly important for men with recurrent disease who are at risk for or already suffering from bone metastases (spread of cancer to the bone). Clinical trials advance science in the areas of disease they study and in some cases provide access to potential new therapies.
"We're conducting our Get in the G.A.M.E.-Get All Men Educated initiative because a recent survey of prostate cancer patients shows that only a very small percentage of patients-about 12 percent of men with prostate cancer-know that clinical trials are an option," said NPCC CEO Richard N. Atkins, M.D. "Clinical trials examine the safety and benefit of experimental drugs to find new treatments for prostate cancer aimed at extending and improving quality of life and ultimately a cure. It's important for men to ask their urologist or oncologist about trials that may be helpful." - Get To Know More About Prostate Cancer By : nobisol8@gmail.com

The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped sex gland in men that produces the seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm. The growth of the cells in the prostate gland is stimulated by the male sex hormone called testosterone. Though its causes are unknown, prostate cancer is a frightening prospect for men. This cancer threatens not just their lives, but also their sexuality. Possible consequences of treatment (even if the treatment has been successful in saving a person’s life) include erectile dysfunction and bladder control problems. Prostate cancer progresses very slowly and the early stages show little or no symptoms. If detected early, effective treatment with minimum side effects is possible. Once the cancer spreads (metastizes) treatment becomes more difficult.
