Everything You Need To Know About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate gland in men. The prostate gland produces some of the fluids in semen. Most prostate cancers are relatively slow-growing. They can be present for many years without causing symptoms and may never spread or progress to a point where they cause problems. Some cases, however, may grow aggressively and spread to other parts of the body quickly
  • More frequent, especially at night, urination
  • Trouble starting or stopping urine flow
  • Weak or interrupted urine stream
  • Pain or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation
  • Blood in urine or semen
    More advanced prostate cancer can cause deep pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs.

Treatment Options

Treatment for prostate cancer depends on the stage and grade of the cancer. Treatments include active surveillance—which is monitoring but not immediate treatment— surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy.

Types of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is primarily divided into a few types, although the majority are adenocarcinomas. Following are the main types of prostate cancers:

 

 Adenocarcinoma
  • Acinar Adenocarcinoma: This is the most typical form of prostate cancer. It develops from the gland cells lining the fluid-secreting glands of the prostate. This usually starts in the peripheral zone of the prostate and often presents with an increased PSA level.
  • Ductal Adenocarcinoma: This is a more aggressive and rarer form, originating in cells lining the ducts of the prostate. It may not significantly increase PSA levels; therefore it cannot be easily detected..
Small Cell Carcinoma    
  • This is the most aggressive type but accounts for only about 1 percent of all prostate cancers. It develops from small round cells and has a tendency towards rapid spreading. It is commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • This type is very rare and represents less than 1% of prostate cancers. It is derived from the flat cells covering the prostate, and it is equally aggressive.
Transitional Cell Carcinoma
  • This cancer primarily affects the bladder from where it can further spread to the prostate. It is the type affecting the urethra, the tube through which urine comes out of the body.
Neuroendocrine Tumors
  • These tumours may arise from neuroendocrine cells in the prostate. They are a rare entity and their aggressiveness may be variable.

Soft Tissue Sarcoma
  • This is less than 0.1% occurring type of prostate cancer. It also is formed from supportive tissues of the prostate. The reason for describing these types is, it will help in deciding correct treatment and management options in prostate cancer patients. Your doctor will consult this information with the stage and grade of your cancer to devise an optimal treatment plan for you.
