Prostate Cancer — Overview

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men over 50. Most are slow-growing and highly curable when detected early. PSA blood test and digital rectal examination (DRE) are the key screening tools.

✅ Early-stage prostate cancer (confined to gland): 5-year survival rate near 100% with appropriate treatment.

Symptoms

  • Early: Often no symptoms — detected on PSA screening
  • Advanced: Difficulty urinating, weak stream, blood in urine/semen, bone pain, weight loss
  • Erectile dysfunction (may be an early sign)

Diagnosis

  • PSA blood test — Prostate Specific Antigen; elevated in cancer, BPH, prostatitis
  • Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) — palpation for hard nodules
  • mpMRI prostate — best imaging for localisation; PIRADS scoring
  • Prostate biopsy — transrectal or transperineal; Gleason score determines aggressiveness
  • Bone scan / PSMA PET-CT — for metastatic staging

Treatment Options

Based on Risk Stratification

  • Active Surveillance — for low-risk localised cancer; close monitoring (PSA, MRI, biopsy) with deferred treatment
  • Laparoscopic / Robotic Radical Prostatectomy — complete prostate removal with nerve-sparing; hospital stay 2 days, return to work 2–3 weeks
  • Radiation Therapy — External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or brachytherapy; coordinated with oncology team
  • Hormone Therapy (ADT) — for advanced/metastatic disease; testosterone deprivation

Frequently Asked Questions

PSA >4.0 ng/mL warrants further evaluation; >10 ng/mL has a 50%+ risk of prostate cancer. However, PSA can be elevated due to BPH or prostatitis. A rising PSA trend (PSA velocity) is as important as the absolute value. MRI prostate and biopsy confirm the diagnosis.
Yes. Laparoscopic/robotic radical prostatectomy achieves equivalent cancer control with significantly better functional outcomes — faster continence recovery (1–3 months vs 6–12 months), less blood loss, 2-day hospital stay vs 7–10 days, and better preservation of erectile nerves.
Localised prostate cancer (confined to the prostate) is potentially curable with surgery or radiotherapy — 5-year survival near 100%. Even locally advanced disease has 70–80% 10-year survival with combined treatment. Metastatic disease is not curable but highly treatable, with patients often living 5–10+ years with hormone therapy.
