The prostate gland in men is a very disease-prone area, and common diseases areprostatitis, prostate cancer, etc. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissue of the prostate gland in men. There are many types of prostate cancer, mainly adenocarcinoma (acinar adenocarcinoma), ductal adenocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, etc., the vast majority of prostate cancer is adenocarcinoma, and what we usually call prostate cancer generally refers to adenocarcinoma. Prostate cancer often occurs in middle-aged and older people.So, what are the symptoms and diagnosis of prostate cancer? Let's take a look at what you need to know.

Clinical signs of prostate cancer. There are two types of prostate cancer clinically, including compression symptoms and metastatic symptoms. The compression symptoms of prostate cancer are mainly manifested as difficulty in urination, thin urine line, short range, incomplete urination, labored urination, etc., and severe patients will also have urinary incontinence problems. As the tumor grows, the rectum becomes compressed, causing difficulty in bowel movement or intestinal obstruction. Tumors can also compress nerves, causing nerve pain. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that is prone to metastasis, and cancer cells are easy to metastasize to bladder, seminal vesicles, blood vessels and nerve bundles, resulting in hematuria and hematospermia.

Diagnosis of prostate cancer. The diagnosis of prostate cancer requires a series of examinations, including digital rectal examination, serum pSA, pelvic MRI examination, etc. Although CT can diagnose early prostate cancer, it is not very sensitive. Since prostate cancer is very prone to metastasis, it is important to have a nuclear bone scan before treatment before deciding whether to undergo surgery.A needle biopsy of the prostate is done to confirm the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
