The Cause Of Prostate Cancer

The cause of prostate cancer is certain until now is still unknown. But prostate canceraffects mainly elderly men. About eight out of ten cases suffered by men aged over 65years.

In addition to age, here are some factors that can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer:
  • Family health history. If there are family men who suffer from prostate cancer or women who had breast cancer, your risk for developing cancer of the prostate will increase.
  • Food. Consuming foods that contain calcium high too often can also increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.

When the PSA level is someone higher, he will need to undergo a process of examination of the prostate gland biopsy to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer.This means there is a possibility that people undergo a biopsy that generally painful and uncomfortable, and the result turned out rather than of prostate cancer.

In addition, cancer detection through PSA levels also became a controversy because there are some cases of prostate cancer are still are in a very early stage with the development minimal, making the sufferer does not need to undergo treatment.Prostate cancer treatment is considered more risky in such cases than if left postensi due to the side effects of treatment are very large as it lost control to urinate.

According to studies, there is indeed a decrease of 20 percent in deaths from prostate cancer that checks early. But just one more person that can be saved of the 48 people who accept the handling of prostate cancer. Therefore, advocacy to conduct the examination of prostate cancer is still in debate.
