Prostate Cancer is the condition or disease that is caused by the mutation or multiplication of the prostrate cells. This leads to the formation of the tumor in the prostrate which finally becomes cancerous. The cells growth in the prostate is so uncontrolled that the metastasis of the cells takes place, which means spreading of the cells to the adjacent body parts and destroying them. Here is an overview of the prostate cancer causes and treatments—
Prostate is the small gland in the male reproductive system that gets cancerous by the uncontrolled growth of the cells. Causes of the prostate cancer are:
This is the surgical method that includes the complete removal of the prostate gland from the human body. Prostatectomy is one of the oldest prostate cancer treatments, which shows the highest success rate than all other treatments. Radical prostatectomy is the removal of the entire prostate gland and possibly the seminal vesicles and surrounding nerves and veins. The part of the urethra traveling through the gland’s transition zone is also removed.
“Cryo” as the word suggest is the freeze. This treatment involves the freezing of the prostrate to kill the cancerous cells. This therapy is good as a temporary treatment but it fails to give the permanent relief from the prostate cancer.
Note: Please consult your doctor immediately if you are facing any problems related to prostate because it may be a prostate cancer. Remember that prostate cancer is curable at first and second stage, but once it get to the final stage then it is very difficult to cure it.
