Prostate Adenocarcinoma (prostate cancer)

Prostate Adenocarcinoma (prostate cancer)

 

International clinical practice recommends regular monitoring of prostate health for all men aged 50 or older. In cases of family history (father or uncle with the disease), it is recommended that this monitoring begins at 45 years of age. The analysis of PSA levels in the blood allows for early diagnosis of prostate cancer, thus increasing the chances of curing the disease.

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is an enzyme produced by prostate cells, and an increase in its concentration may indicate changes in the prostate, such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostate cancer.

The most common symptoms of prostate cancer include difficulty or pain while urinating, frequent urination at night, presence of blood in the urine or semen, and pain in the back or hips. These symptoms can also occur in other conditions, so it is important to consult a doctor, especially a urologist or oncologist, for diagnosis and treatment.
