Early diagnosis reduces the mortality rate of prostate cancer

The most common type of cancer diagnosed among men is Cancer of the prostate. The prostate is a gland the size of a walnut found only in men. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 218,890 new cases expected be diagnosed in 2007 and around 27,050 men die from prostate cancer. However, the mortality rate is declining, perhaps in part because a early diagnosis.

In the early stages of a patient may show no symptoms. However, after he advanced, the patient may experience:

* Frequent urination
* A low urine output
* Burning on urination
* Painful ejaculation
* Blood in urine semen.

Joint test for prostate cancer needs a doctor to check the amount of PSA in the blood. A digital rectal tell the doctor if there are lumps in the prostate, which may be cancerous.

This method is recommended for men 50 years should be examined each years with both a digital rectal examination and blood tests. The American Cancer Society recommends that men at high risk of testing begins at age 45. African Americans and those with a close relative was diagnosed before age 65 are considered high risk.

Other risk factors for prostate cancer are:
* Age. According to the American Cancer Society, about two out of three patients with prostate cancer are men over 65 years.
Diet. Diets rich in red meat or dairy products high in fat seem to increase risk. As with all cancers, including schemes low-fat in meat and dairy products produced at least five servings of fruits and vegetables seems to reduce the risk.

The diagnosis of cancer prostate tends to grow slowly early can save lives. Because it usually develops very slowly, many men more elderly who died were found to have had the disease and are unaware. As a result, many doctors try not to deal at all. It is This is called the arena management or watchful waiting. This may be recommended if you do not cause any symptoms and not spread

Patients with prostate cancer are treated with traditional therapies such as radiation. Surgery may be recommended. Hormone, where patients receive medications to reduce the number of male hormones in the body, has been recommended in some patients.

The treatments vary between patients. Factors determining treatment include age, stage of cancer and the patient's general health.

If, when prostate cancer is confined to the prostate or has only spread to neighboring regions, the survival rate at five years is almost 100 percent, according American Cancer Society. If it has spread, survival at 5 years is about 33 per cent. Approximately ten per cent of all deaths in men are prostate cancer.
