Prostate cancer in men is similar to breast cancer in women, at least in some respects, of course. Apart from the fact that this type of cancer in men is still a non-skin cancer the most common, and is second behind lung cancer, many men in this very successfully treating the disease are unknown and foreign. Therefore, the time to familiarize them with.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive insight into the specific disease, as well as to present the risk of disease.
What is prostate cancer?
Prostate just people - it is a walnut-sized gland below the bladder near the rectum. The role of this gland is to protect and maintain the sperm cells to develop a special liquid, which covers the composition of the seed.
Usually the size of the prostate remains constant, but parents can continue to grow, thus increasing or prostatisko benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH usually leads more often to go to the toilet and urinating causes pain in proses.Prostat can also become inflamed (in this case, the disease is known as prostatitis) because of infection or other causes. Prostatitis are quite common and symptoms similar to BPH. But not BPH, prostatitis no type of cancer and can be easily handled.
99% of prostate cells in the pancreas cells that form the prostatic fluid in the composition of the seed. Prostate cancer almost always occurs when these cells become more aggressive and grow uncontrollably. This occurs, DNA damaged cells so they behave contrary to normal conditions. Cells divided more rapidly, forming tumors and even can spread (metastasize to build) to other parts of the body through blood or lymph nodes.
How many people affected by prostate cancer?
According to data from the American Cancer Society:
• one of six men with prostate cancer pain (2008. U.S. found 186.320 new cases);
• Only one in 35 sick people die from this disease (2008. 28.660 people were killed in the U.S.);
• 9 of the 10 cases cancer is found early, before they could spread to other parts of the body (these people have a 100% chance to live the next five years, compared with healthy men. Survivability refers to the possibility of death, rather than other effects).
• The opportunity to live in the next 10 years is 91% and 15-76%.
• Men with prostate cancer detected admit, is a 32 chance to live the next five years, compared with healthy men.
Then we can conclude from that? Prostate cancer is a common disease in men, but grow slowly and the survival rate is very high because the process of light treatment and the frequency of complete healing. Diagnostic and treatment methods continue to evolve, so if you find this disease today, chances are you're already better than the statistics above.
Who is at risk of contracting prostate cancer?
All risk factors for prostate cancer has not been identified, however, have identified several risk groups, with account age, race, family history and dietary aspects.
Age aspekts Vecuma aspects
• Prostate cancer is relatively rare in men younger than 40;
• Risk increased significantly, reaching the age of 50 years;
• More than 65% of cases are diagnosed in men older than 65 years;
• The average age of men affected is 70.
Race / nationality
• Prostate cancer is widespread among black people;
• black men are two times higher risk of death than Caucasians;
• The disease is rare affecting Asia and Latin;
• Differences between races in this area has not been fully explored, but more or less clear that the socio-economic differences, nutrition and genetic make higher risk than black men directly.
Family history
• It appears that hereditary prostate cancer in the family;
• If a brother or father with prostate cancer, the disease risk for men is two times higher;
• The risk of inheriting the gene was also increased, but they have been identified in only a few;
• Prostate cancer genetic screening is not possible.
Diēta Diet
• Men who eat lots of red meat and eat more high-fat dairy products, has prostate cancer risk is higher.
Another study showed that obesity, or vasektomija prostate infection or prostatitis increases the risk, but the results are still very kontroversial.Dalam any case, for fear vasektomijas finish should avoid prostate cancer.
