FAQ’s

What are the early signs of prostate cancer?

Early prostate cancer often causes no symptoms at all and is commonly detected through a PSA blood test during routine health screening. When symptoms occur, they may include difficulty passing urine, weak urine flow, or frequent urination at night. Any persistent urinary change should be evaluated by a doctor.
What does a high PSA level mean?

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) is a blood test that can indicate prostate problems. A high PSA does not always mean cancer — it can also increase due to prostate enlargement or infection. If PSA is elevated, further evaluation such as MRI or biopsy may be recommended.
What is hormone therapy for prostate cancer?

Most prostate cancers depend on the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapy reduces testosterone levels to slow or stop cancer progression. This is commonly done using medications such as leuprolide depot injections, which are given at regular intervals.
What happens if prostate cancer progresses despite hormone therapy?

If PSA begins to rise despite low testosterone levels, the disease is called castration-resistant prostate cancer. Newer medications such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, or chemotherapy may help control the disease. Treatment is individualized based on overall health and disease extent.
Can prostate cancer spread to bones?
How often should PSA be checked after diagnosis?
When should someone see an oncologist for prostate cancer?
Is prostate cancer curable?

Many prostate cancers are highly treatable, especially when detected early. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy depending on the stage and aggressiveness of the disease. Even advanced prostate cancer can often be controlled for many years with modern treatments.
