latest treatment on prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the 3rd most usual reason for death from cancer in men of every age and is the most common cause of death from cancer in men over 75 years old. Prostate cancer is rarely found in men younger than 40.
Men at higher risk include African-America men older than sixty, farmers, tire plant employees, painters, and men exposed to cadmium. The lowest number of cases occurs in Japanese men and people who do not eat meat (vegetarians).
What are some of the treatment options for prostate cancer?
The treatment treatment possibilities for prostate cancer depend in part on whether the tumor has spread. For tumors that are still inside the prostate, radiation therapy (using x-rays that kill the cancer cells) and a surgery called radical prostatectomy are common treatment options. "Watchful waiting" is also a treatment option. In this approach, no treatment is given until the tumor gets bigger. Watchful waiting may be the best choice for an older man who has a higher risk of dying from something other than his prostate cancer.

Radiation for prostate cancer may irritate the rectum and cause changes to your bowel movements. You may also need to pass urine more often.
These side effects are a result of damage to normal cells. The side effects will usually improve or go away when the treatment the colon and the normal cells repair themselves.
