Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate produces some of the fluid found in semen and is located just below the bladder. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and can be diagnosed with a digital rectal exam, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, or a biopsy. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so it is important for men to get regular check-ups.
Common Treatment Methods
Prostate cancer is a common type of cancer in men and a major cause of death. The most common treatment approach for prostate cancer is a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and/or hormone therapy. Surgery may involve the removal of the entire prostate or just part of it. Radiation therapy may involve the use of external-beam radiation or seed implants. Hormone therapy is used to reduce the production of the male hormone testosterone, which can fuel the growth of prostate cancer. Each treatment approach has its own set of advantages and disadvantages and should be discussed with a doctor to determine the best option for each individual patient.
