Understanding Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer begins in the prostate gland, a small, walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. While some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, others are aggressive and can spread quickly. Early detection through screening is crucial for effective management and treatment.


Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

In its early stages, prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, the following symptoms may occur:

  • Difficulty urinating
  • Decreased force in the stream of urine
  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Discomfort in the pelvic area
  • Bone pain


Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer at Felix Hospital

We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to accurately diagnose prostate cancer. These include:

  • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): A physical examination where a doctor feels the prostate gland for abnormalities.
  • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: A blood test that measures the level of PSA, a substance produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels may indicate the presence of prostate cancer.
  • Biopsy: If PSA levels are high or abnormalities are found during a DRE, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
  • Imaging Tests: MRI, CT scans, and bone scans may be used to determine the extent of cancer spread.


Treatment Options for Prostate Cancer at Felix Hospital

Our multidisciplinary team at Hospital, offers a range of treatment options for prostate cancer, tailored to the stage and severity of the disease, as well as the patient’s overall health and preferences.

  • Active Surveillance: For low-risk prostate cancer that is not causing symptoms, active surveillance may be recommended. This involves regular monitoring through PSA tests, DREs, and biopsies.
  • Surgery: Surgical options include radical prostatectomy, where the entire prostate gland is removed. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, are also available, offering faster recovery times and fewer complications.
  • Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation is used to target and kill cancer cells. This can be delivered externally through external beam radiation therapy or internally through brachytherapy.
  • Hormone Therapy: This treatment reduces the levels of male hormones that stimulate cancer growth. It can be used in combination with other treatments or as a standalone therapy for advanced prostate cancer.
  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill rapidly growing cancer cells. It is typically used for prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland.
  • Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: These advanced treatments involve targeting specific molecules involved in cancer growth or enhancing the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
