Prostate cancer symptoms and warning signs

Most commonly, prostate cancer is adenocarcinomas, meaning it develops in the gland cells.

Symptoms of prostate cancer are usually minimal, or not experienced at all.

Men ages 60 to 74 are considered more at risk, according to the SEER program.

The survival rate plummets to 32% among stage IV cancer cases when the disease spreads.

PSA screening involves a simple blood test for elevated levels of a protein that may signal cancer but also can be caused by an enlarged or inflamed prostate.

It can find cancer that doesn’t need to be treated, as it’s too small and slow-growing to become deadly.

Radiation or surgery to remove the prostate may result in impotence and incontinence.
