Types of Prostate Cancer
Most cases of prostate cancer are classified as adenocarcinoma, which is the most commonly seen form of prostate cancer. Adenocarcinomas begin to form in the glands. However, it is possible for rare forms of prostate cancers to form other types of cells which include sarcomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and transitional cell carcinomas.
Signs & Symptoms
Signs and symptoms to look out for when it comes to prostate cancer can sometimes almost be non-existent. However, there are a few signs that may be an indication of prostate cancer. Some of the signs and symptoms include:
- Loss of bladder control
- Frequent urge to pee
- Weak urine flow
These signs may be an indication of prostate cancer. Other signs also include loss of bowel control, pain in your lower back or chest, and pain during ejaculation. If you are experiencing any of these signs, you may need an examination to clarify the issue.
Treatment Options
There are various different treatment options for prostate cancer. This can depend on several factors such as how fast it is spreading and where it has spread. Some treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapies. Speak with your doctor to see which is the best option for you.
