Question 1

Question 2

It is unfortunate that symptoms may not show up form many years. The reason for this is because this type of cancer is so slow growing. However, when the symptoms do show up, they may be caused by another medical problem not just prostate cancer. Outlined below are some of the lists of symptoms:
a. Passing blood in the urine or semen
b. Pain in the hips, lower back, pelvic region or even the upper thighs.
c. Difficulty in urinating, in getting and maintaining an erection.
d. To name a few
You are advised to consult your doctor immediately if you are manifesting any of these symptoms.
Question 3
What are the odds of a man over fifty being diagnosed with a malignancy of the prostate?
ANSWER
If you are fifty or older in the United States you stand a 1 in 6 chance of being diagnosed with a malignant tumor or tumors of the prostate. However if you are of African American and Hispanic heritage you stand an increased chance of prostate cancer of 1 in 4.
Question 4
Is it possible to detect a prostate malignancy early?
ANSWER
Yes it is possible to detect a prostate malignancy early. Presently there are tow primary tests, one of which is a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). This test is carried out by having the man bending over or laying on his side and the doctor inserts a finger up through the rectum to the prostate. By doing this he will be able to know if the prostate has hardened and increased in size.
Ordinarily if your doctor detects a hardening or increase in size of the prostate he will order the second test. This test is often referred to a PSA blood test. The aim of the PSA is to detect if you have an increased level of prostate-specific antigen in your blood. With a count of six or higher your doctor may order more test to determine if cancer is present in your body as the normal count is about four.
More than 90% of prostate cancer is detected early, thanks to the widespread use of these two tests in men over 50 and earlier for the African American man.
These four prostate cancer and answers is just a few out of many that you should know. Again it is strongly recommended that you contact your attending physician and other medical professionals for specific answers to your questions.

Prostate Cancer
This article will discuss the possibility of new prostate cancer treatments as wel as proven and tried treatments.

A company called Dendreon had developed provenge which is one of the newest drugs for prostate cancer treatment. Provenge is believe to have fewer side effects than the other toxic drugs currently approved for use in advanced cases of prostate malignancy. The side effects for Provenge are said to be similar to a case of flu and generally cease after 2 to 3 days. Some of the other toxic drug side effects are so bad they may even result in death in as many as 1 to 2% as shown by the clinical trials conducted by Dendreon. Dendreon clinical trials also show that Provenge may extends life up to as much as 4 1/2 months for those with little hope.
Thanks to recent technology growth one of the proven therapies, Cryotherapy, has taken on new life and new hope. This therapy is more effective during the early stages of prostate cancer. It uses sub zero temperature to freeze the prostate cancer.
It is commonly used where the cancer is identified within the prostate. Doctors are able to treat the tumors with a new needle called a cryoneedle because the cancer is identified. The good news about this method of treatments is its accuracy.
With the use of transrectal ultrasound and switching from liquid nitrogen to helium gases and argon, the effectiveness of the treatment has increased.
In conclusion all prostate cancer new treatment should be discussed with your personal Doctor.

And sure this type of cancer is slow growing it may take years for it to manifest itself in other areas of the body.
