Prostate cancer is a malignant neoplasm that develops in the prostate gland. The mortality rate from this disease in Ukraine is 41 cases per 100,000 population. In the world this is 18.7 for the same 100 thousand. WHO says: prostate cancer is one of the five diseases that cause the death of men around the world.

Who is at risk for developing prostate cancer?

That is, at risk are men of mature and older age, as well as those who have a genetic predisposition to this disease. Therefore, it is recommended that all 50+ men take a simple blood test for PSA (prostatitis is a specific antigen, like screening), and also undergo an examination with a urologist who can detect the disease at an early stage.

Symptoms of prostate cancer:

- urination disorders (weak, intermittent, rapid urination, pain and burning when urinating, incomplete emptying of the bladder);

- painful ejaculation;

- blood in urine or semen;

- pain in the back, hip, or pelvis;

If one or more symptoms of prostate cancer are found, contact your family doctor or therapist immediately.

Please note that all these symptoms of prostate cancer are not always signs of prostate cancer, but may be associated with other serious diseases.

- common prostate cancer (stage 3 - 4 with metastases)
