Concerned About Prostate Cancer?
It's natural to have questions about prostate health. In Canada, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but when detected early, treatment outcomes are often very positive.
Why Get Checked?
If you're experiencing urinary changes, difficulty urinating, or are over 50, it's important to get checked. Regular screening is key for early detection, even without symptoms.
Symptoms
Frequent urination (especially at night), weak or interrupted urine flow, difficulty starting urination, pain or burning during urination, blood in urine or semen, pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn't go away.
What Causes It?
The exact cause isn't fully understood, but prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate begin to grow uncontrollably. Age, family history, and certain genetic factors play important roles.
Risk Factors
Being over 50 years old is a primary risk factor. Having a family history of prostate cancer increases risk. Being of African descent carries a higher risk. Certain genetic mutations can also increase risk.
How Is It Diagnosed?
In Canada, prostate cancer is typically diagnosed through PSA blood tests, digital rectal exams, and if needed, imaging tests and biopsies.
Is It Curable?
When detected early, prostate cancer is often treatable and many men live long, healthy lives after diagnosis. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and other targeted approaches.
