Prostate Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate gland, a small gland in men that produces seminal fluid. It is one of the most common cancers in men and often grows slowly, though some forms can be more aggressive.

Symptoms

Early prostate cancer may cause no symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms can include difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, blood in urine or semen, discomfort in the pelvic area, and erectile dysfunction.

Causes

Risk factors include increasing age, family history, certain genetic mutations, and race, with some populations at higher risk. Diet and lifestyle factors may also play a contributing role.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves a PSA blood test, digital rectal examination, and imaging, with a biopsy needed to confirm cancer and determine its aggressiveness through grading.

Treatment

Treatment options range from active surveillance for slow-growing cancers to surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy for more advanced disease. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, provides expert, individualised prostate cancer care.
