Cancer - prostate
With the advent of PSA testing, most prostate cancers are now found before they cause symptoms. Additionally, while most of the symptoms listed below can be associated with prostate cancer, they are more likely to be associated with non-cancerous conditions.
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
A rectal exam often reveals an enlarged prostate with a hard, irregular surface. A number of tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
A newer test called AMACR is more sensitive for determining the presence of prostate cancer than the PSA test.
