Cancer is an abnormal growth of tissues in the body. The cancer cells proliferate at a rate higher than the normal rate of cell division of the normal body cells. This results in the cancerous tissues being larger than the surrounding normal tissues. The tissues therefore competes with the normal tissues for blood supply of oxygen and nutrients, therefore depriving them these essential elements. For this research, I will talk about the Prostatic carcinoma.
The prostate gland is a pear shaped gland, part of the internal male reproductive system. It lies below the bladder enclosing within it the prostatic urethra. The gland is encapsulated and held to the bladder by the Denonvilliers aponeurosis. It produces fluid that forms part of the semen …show more content…
But for the few that developed prostatic cancer despite administration with the inhibitors had a more aggressive form of the disease. Therefore the use of these drugs for the prevention of the cancer was stopped by the Food and Drug Administration.
Signs and symptoms of Prostatic Cancer
Most of the signs and symptoms of prostatic carcinoma are related to the urinary system. Some of the signs and symptoms are
Loss of appetite, features of anemia, bone pain due to bone metastasis which can be with or without pathologic fractures, neurologic deficits due to compression of the spinal cord, increased urgency, frequency and hesitancy during urination, some also present with feature of lower urinary tract obstruction involving the kidneys and the ureters, enlarged prostate gland during digital rectal examination.
Epidemiology
In 2012, the worldwide incidence of prostatic cancer among other cancers was 15%. The highest incidence of prostatic cancer occur in the Northern America with the lowest being in Asia and North Africa. In the USA, it is the most common non-cutaneous cancers in men. In a lifetime, one in six and five people are diagnosed with the cancer for the whites and the American Blacks
