Prostate cancer is very common. Around half of all men in their 60′s have it, although most will never know it or be bothered by it. By the time men are in their 80′s, most will have it. This is known from autopsy studies of car crash victims, btw. Only about 3% of male deaths are from prostate cancer–this in spite of the fact that the lifetime risk of being diagnosed is 1 in 6.

Caught early, the cure rate is nearly 100%, and the 5 year survival rate is nearly 100% whether or not the cancer is cured. This is because, compared to other cancers, prostate cancer is a turtle.

You’re going to need more information to estimate the likelihood of successful treatment–the Gleason score is the most important, followed by stage of disease and PSA history.

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.

The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.
