WHAT IS PROSTATE CANCER?
All cells in our body in a certain order under control, and self-renew and multiply. For some reason-it causes uncontrolled proliferation of cells in the soon-examine. This is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells accumulate to form together. What we call a collection of tumor cells. Some of the tumors, but a portion remains in place multiplies the circulation and spread to other organs can damage them. This spread of malignant tumors, tumor or "cancer" is called. Cancer cells capable of proliferation elsewhere to settle there. If the prostate is an organ located in all men. Responsible for the construction of the male semen.

Because more than likely seen in people over age 65, according to surveys.
REASONS FOR PROSTATE CANCER
The reason is unclear, but hormones, genetic (hereditary) and environmental factors in the formation of this disease is thought to be reasons. Does not occur before puberty, after puberty the hormones are secreted and used in the treatment of this cancer hormones (like estrogen) effect on this disease show that the presence of hormones.
First-degree relatives of individuals with prostate cancer were at increased risk for the disease. Therefore, genetic factors are implicated in prostate cancer. American black race, African descent, and is seen more often occurs at an earlier age. The reason for this is unknown. To find genes that cause prostate cancer are still underway.
Specific geographic areas to see environmental factors also play a role in prostate cancer suggests that more. Observed in the Scandinavian countries in particular. And some other Asian countries, Japan has become less common. Risk areas as a result of migration from these regions has not increased, but the next generation seems to have increased risk of disease. This also demonstrates the importance of environmental impact. Foods that are high in animal fat diet is thought to increase the risk of disease.
SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE CANCER
Insidious disease is a condition characterized and slow-growing usually produce no symptoms in early disease. The patient is not suffering from the many. But after advancing to the disease-usually occurs in the urinary tract clogged-following symptoms occur:

If you understand the examination, the tumor formed by hand, but this is not an adequate method. In order to understand the cancer has spread to the bones, the bone is drawn film. The same applies to the lung. Can be seen with ultrasound, and where the cancer has spread, the size is checked. Microscopic examination as a result of prostate cancer may be diagnosed from the track.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER?
Early diagnosis of prostate cancer is a disease that can be completely treated. First, the tumor needs to be examined for appropriate treatment. Examined the spread of cancer. Current location of the tumor is checked. One method of treatment drug treatment. Drugs are used to destroy cancer cells. In addition to hormone therapy in advanced cancers are prostta. Estrogen is the hormone. Another form of therapy radiation therapy. Called the method of radiotherapy. Aim to kill cancer cells. As a result of surgery to treat the prostate gland, organs removed from the tumor has spread.
However, you must keep in mind, however, be treated the same for everyone. Therapeutic goal is to extend the life. Treatment should not only slowed the disease goes too far. Now is not a disease that can be treated. Therefore, those over the age of 50 should be checked by a doctor for the screening of the disease.
