Prostate cancer, a common form of cancer in men, originates in the prostate gland, which is nestled between the bladder and penis and plays a crucial role in sperm nourishment, semen production, and urine control. Despite its prevalence, if caught in the early stages, it's highly treatable. Age, family history of specific cancers, and high testosterone levels are key risk factors. Symptoms might include frequent urination, particularly at night, difficulty in urinating, weak urine flow, blood in urine or semen, painful urination or ejaculation, and discomfort in the back, hips, or pelvis.
In Delhi's context, prostate cancer specialists at Apollo Hospitals report a steady rise in cases over the years. However, the city also boasts some of the best doctors for prostate cancer treatment who work meticulously to manage this disease effectively. The following sections will delve into the diagnostic tests and treatment possibilities for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer can be classified into various stages based on its severity:
Localised Prostate Cancer: The cancer is confined to the prostate.
Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: The cancer has spread beyond the prostate to nearby organs.
Advanced (metastatic) Prostate Cancer: The cancer has spread to distant parts of the body.
Certain signs could indicate the presence of prostate cancer:
Difficulty with starting and maintaining a steady stream of urine
Frequent urination, especially at night
Blood present in urine or semen
Painful ejaculation
Persistent pain in the back, hips or pelvis
Several tests can be used to diagnose prostate cancer:
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Blood Test: A higher level of PSA could indicate prostate cancer.
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): The doctor checks for bumps or hard areas on the prostate.
Ultrasound: An imaging test to create a picture of the prostate.
Prostate Biopsy: A sample tissue is removed for laboratory examination.
MRI Fusion Biopsy: Combines MRI and ultrasound images for a detailed view of the prostate.
At Apollo Hospitals in Delhi, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options:
Active Surveillance: This involves regular check-ups and tests to monitor the cancer.
Surgery: A prostate cancer surgeon might recommend a prostatectomy, the removal of the entire prostate.
Radiation Therapy: This uses high-energy rays or particles to kill cancer cells.
Hormone Therapy: This aims to stop the body from producing testosterone, which may help slow the growth of the cancer cells.
Chemotherapy: This utilises drugs to kill fast-growing cells, including cancer cells.
