Pathophysiology
-
Direct extension to nearby structures such as seminal vesicles , urethral mucosa, bladder wall and external spintcher of the bladder.
-
The veins from the prostate seem to be the mode to the bone of the pelvis, the head of the femur, the lower lumbar spine, the liver and lungs. Prostate cancer is asymptomatic in the early stages.
Prostate cancer is androgen-dependent adenoma carcinoma. The tumour is slow growing and usually begins in the posterior and lateral portions of the prostate. It can spread by three route.
The patient may have symptoms similar to those of BPH including difficulty in starting and stopping urinary stream, dysuria, haematuria, blood in the semen and painful ejaculation.
Staging and grading
Stage 2
The tumour is found only in the prostate. PSA levels are medium or low. Prostate cancer is low but may have an increasing risk of growing and spreading. Tumour cannot be felt.
Stage 3
PSA levels are high, the tumour is growing or the cancer is high grade. These all indicate a locally advanced cancer that is likely to grow and spread
Stage 1
Cancer in this early stage is usually slow growing. The tumour cannot be felt and involves one-half of 1 side of the prostate or even less than that PSA levels are low. The cancer cells are well differentiated, meaning they look like healthy cells.
