What Is Prostate
Cancer
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive
system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing, but there are some
aggressive, faster growing types too.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers to be diagnosed in
men in the UK, accounting for nearly one quarter of male cancers. In the UK
each year over 41,700 men are diagnosed with it. It is rare in men under the
age of 50, with more than 50% of all cases of the cancer being diagnosed
in men over the age of 50.
There is on-going research into the main causes of prostate cancer, but
there are already risk factors. One major factor is age, with an estimated
80% of men in their 80s having some form of the cancer. Other factors
include: a family history of the disease, black African and black Caribbean
ethnicity, and poor diet.
There are signs that can be indicative of prostate cancer. These include:
difficult in passing urine, passing urine more frequently, pain when passing
urine and blood in urine. These symptoms are not unique to prostate
cancer however it is best to get them investigated by a doctor at the
soonest opportunity.
Private treatments for prostate cancer are performed at the LOC by highly
experienced oncology specialists. The best course of treatment will be
decided and implemented according to each individual case.
