Radiotherapy, open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, hormone therapy, and active surveillance. All are effective ways to treat prostate cancer, but which one is right for you? In the following short film three men suffering with prostate cancer explain the choices they were given with their prostate cancer and which treatment they chose. Listening to your consultant should play a big part in making your treatment decision, but researching your treatment choices will ensure that you are able to chose a treatment which is best, not only for your prostate cancer, but for your lifestyle too.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a disease with high incidence and prevalence. Early detection of PCa has been an area for research to decrease its morbidity and mortality. The discovery of prostate specific antigen (PSA) revolutionised screening of PCa, which was largely dependent on detection of prostatic acid phosphatase and digital rectal examination. Several leading organisations and cancer societies, based on present evidence, have published their recommendations for its use in detection and monitoring of PCa. There has been difference in opinions on its appropriate threshold value to recommend prostate biopsy and benefits on health outcomes due to its use in screening. This book presents and discusses current research in the study of PCa and it’s role in the screening of prostate cancer.

Prostate Specific Antigen and Prostate Cancer (Carcer Etiology, Diagnosis and Treatments)

The incidence of prostate cancer in men is very high worldwide, being the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the USA. It is the second most common cause of deaths of all types of cancers and the incidence and risk rate is much higher in developed world than underdeveloped regions. Also, aging enhances the risk of prostate cancer as it is very rare in men under the age of 40 while it is very frequent over age of 65. The digital rectal examination (DRE) and Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test are two important ways to diagnose prostate cancer. This book presents and discusses the possible role of PSA in prostate cancer.
