- Symptoms from compression of the spine
- Painful urination or ejaculation
- Sudden erectile dysfunction (trouble in getting an erection)
- Blood in urine or semen
Advanced cancer can cause deep pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs.
Other Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
- Weight loss
- Frequent urination particularly at night
- Loss of bladder control
- Weak urine flow
- Dull pain in the lower pelvic area
- Pain in the lower back, hips, or thighs
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Bone pain
- Anemia
- Pain and edema in the legs and feet
- Neurologic deficit (an altered function of a body area)
- Loss of bowel control
What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer affects the prostate glands of men. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths for men. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It makes some of the fluid that is part of semen.
The prostate is below the bladder (the hollow organ where urine is stored) and in front of the rectum (the last part of the intestines). In men, it is normal for the size of the prostate to increase with age. In younger men, it is about the size of a walnut. The prostate makes a milky fluid, which is a part of semen. This fluid feeds the sperm.
It’s the most common cancer in men after skin cancer. Prostate cancer often grows very slowly and may not cause significant harm. But some types are more aggressive and can spread quickly without treatment. The size of the prostate can change as a man ages. In younger men, it is about the size of a walnut, but it can be much larger in older men.

What Causes Prostate Cancer?
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown. One in three men older than 50 years has some cancer cells in the prostate. Luckily, eight out of 10 tumors are found to be small and harmless after the biopsy. Although the reason for prostate cancer is unknown, there are many risk factors that increase the risk of prostate cancer:
- Age over 55 (peak age 65-74) years
- Ethnicity: Common in blacks as compared to Caucasians.
- Genetic/family history
- Poor dietary habits: High fat, unhealthy diet
- Cigarette smoking
- Alcohol intake
- Obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Hormonal causes
Are You At Risk of Prostate Cancer?
While prostate cancer could occur in any man, certain factors raise your risk for the disease. These risk factors include:
- older age
- a family history of prostate cancer
- certain ethnicities or race
- obesity
- genetic changes
Enlarged Prostate or Prostate Cancer?
The prostate can grow larger as men age, sometimes pressing on the bladder or urethra and causing symptoms similar to prostate cancer. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It’s not cancer and can be treated if symptoms become bothersome. A third problem that can cause urinary symptoms is prostatitis. This inflammation or infection may also cause a fever and in many cases is treated with medication.
How is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?
Screening asymptomatic men helps identify early prostate cancer. Screening is recommended in men:
- Who are between 55 and 69 years of age
- Who have a family history of prostate cancer
Screening methods include:
- Digital rectal examination (DRE) helps to find prostate problems
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA): Increased PSA levels in the blood can sometimes indicate prostate cancer.
- Diagnosis:
- Definite diagnosis is based on the biopsy of the prostate tissue.
- Magnetic resonance imaging studies and imaging tests may be used to assess the distant spread (metastasis).
Who Treats Prostate Cancer?
The main types of doctors who treat prostate cancer include:
- Urologist: A surgeons who treat diseases of the urinary system and male reproductive system (including the prostate)
- Radiation oncologist: A doctor who treats cancer with radiation therapy
- Medical oncologist: A doctor who treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy.
