Screening for prostate cancer

Screening for prostate cancer
Screening is usually performed in healthy people and help to detect cancers at an early stage. The screening procedures are not sufficient for diagnosis. A person who screen positive may or may not have the disease. A review process identifies people who may be suffering from the disease. On evaluation are needed before reaching to diagnose a specific disease. the prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests and examination by digital rectal examination (DRE) are used to control people with prostate cancer.

The prostate specific antigen (PSA)

PSA is a protein produced by the prostate and released into the bloodstream. Normally, the PSA is <4NG / ml. The normal value in people older is slightly higher than among young people. Thus, decreased lower level off <2.6ng/ml is used in people younger at the time of making the PSA test. Values above 10 ng / ml are considered "high" and values between 4 and 10 are considered as "intermediaries". Values of PSA are elevated in many prostate disease, including cancer. Other conditions that arise PSA BPH (benign prostate) and prostatitis. PSA values are generally higher in the elderly As mentioned in section precedent. The PSA test is not specific to prostate cancer but not prostate specific, which not only raises prostate cancer but other conditions of the prostate and therefore not been raised in diseases associated with other organs.

As can be deduced from analysis foregoing, any person with an elevated PSA level does not have prostate cancer and the work must be a late diagnosis.

When should begin screening for prostate cancer? The recommendation is for men over 50 years to be tested annual test and the DRE (with a predicted survival of> 10. This includes men up to 76 years). African-American men and men with a history of parental screening for prostate cancer is communicated each year from age 40.

The DRE
DRE is another screening method for diagnosing cancer prostate. It is usually combined with the PSA test to increase the chances of early detection of prostate cancer.

During the DRE, a gloved, lubricated finger is inserted into the rectum and the prostate is palpated for irregularities in size, shape and texture. Prostate cancer are typically hard, nodular and irregular. In general 20-25% of patients with abnormal DRE have prostate cancer.
