Prostate Cancer Treatment in BTM Layout, Bangalore
Prostate cancer is a condition in which abnormal cells grow within the prostate gland, a small organ located below the bladder in men. It often progresses slowly and may not cause symptoms in the early stages. Timely evaluation helps determine the stage of disease and guide appropriate treatment planning.
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, prostate cancer evaluation is led by experienced urologists using a structured, stage-based, and diagnosis-first approach.
What Is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate gland begin to grow uncontrollably. The prostate plays an important role in semen production. Prostate cancer may remain confined to the gland or, in advanced stages, extend beyond it.
Many cases are detected early through screening, PSA testing, or routine medical evaluation.
Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer risk may increase with:
- Increasing age
- Family history of prostate cancer
- Hormonal factors
- Lifestyle and metabolic conditions
Not all men diagnosed with prostate cancer have identifiable risk factors.
Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer Symptoms and What They May Indicate
| Symptom | What It May Indicate |
|---|---|
| Difficulty in urination | Prostate involvement |
| Weak urine stream | Obstruction due to prostate |
| Frequent urination at night | Prostate enlargement or cancer |
| Blood in urine or semen | Prostate or urinary tract involvement |
| Pelvic or back pain | Advanced disease |
Early-stage prostate cancer may have no noticeable symptoms.
When Should You See a Doctor?
Medical evaluation is recommended if urinary symptoms persist, blood is noticed in urine or semen, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are elevated. Early assessment helps differentiate prostate cancer from benign prostate enlargement or infections.
How Prostate Cancer Is Diagnosed
Diagnosis may include:
- PSA blood test
- Digital rectal examination (DRE)
- Imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI)
- Prostate biopsy
These tests help confirm the diagnosis and determine cancer stage and aggressiveness.
