Prostate Cancer Treatment in India

MUMBAI, India - June 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Prostate gland is one of the most important gland in male reproductive system that produces seminal fluid which carries sperm. It is a small, walnut sized gland located under the bladder and surrounds the upper part of urethra. The function of prostate is regulated by testosterone, the male sex hormone produced in testicles.

Prostate cancer is rare before 50 and experts believe that most elderly men have at least traces of it. Prostate cancer is a very slow growing tumour and does not cause any symptoms till it is in an advanced stage. Most men suffering from prostate cancer die of other causes without being diagnosed of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer can be effectively treated in its early stage, i.e, if it is confined only to prostate gland. But if begins to grow and spreads outside the prostate, it is dangerous. Cancer that has spread beyond prostate gland to other tissues such as bones, lymph nodes or lungs is not completely curable, but can be controlled for many years.

It is difficult to point the exact reason for prostate cancer, but experts generally agree that diet contributes to the risk, which is genetic. Men who consume a lot of fat- particularly red meat and other animal fat, are most likely to develop prostate cancer.

There are several tests to diagnose prostate cancer. There are two initial tests that are commonly done to detect prostate cancer in absence of any symptoms. The first is digital rectal examination, which is a simple test to screen for prostate cancer. The test can catch the disease in its early stage, when it is treatable. The second test is Prostate Specific Antigen blood test or PSA which confirms prostate cancer. A high PSA in blood indicates prostate cancer.

People detected with prostate cancer in early stages have very high chances of cure and long term survival. It is important that one should regularly get a screening for prostate cancer after 50 to detect cancer in early stages for an effective treatment.

Prostate cancer in early stages is removed by surgery, which may entail removing a part or complete prostate. The procedure for complete removal of prostate gland is called Radical prostatectomy. The chances of spreading prostate cancer to other tissues are minimal after a prosatectomy, but one should be regularly screened.
