Since 2014, the <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/about/key-statistics.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">incidence rate</a> of prostate cancer has increased by 3% each year in the U.S. In 2024, about <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/about/key-statistics.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">299,010 new patients</a> have confirmed the unpleasant diagnosis.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the Function of Prostate Gland?</h2>\n\n<p>The prostate is a part of the male reproductive system. It is located beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.</p>\n\n<p>The seminal vesicles are two minor glands attached to the back of the prostate. Both the prostate and seminal vesicles produce fluid that mixes with sperm to create semen. During ejaculation, this semen travels through the urethra and exits the penis.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"adenocarcinoma prostate cancer\" src=\"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bookimed/_images_without_dir/66d7233201612.jpeg\"></p>\n\n<p>(source - <a href=\"https://www.columbiadoctors.org/health-library/multimedia/anatomy-prostate/\" target=\"_blank\">Columbia University Irving Medical Center</a>)</p>\n\n<h2>Who is in the Risk Group of Developing Prostate Cancer?</h2>\n\n<p>Prostate cancer is very common in <strong>men over 65 years old</strong>. The studies show that about <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/about/key-statistics.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">1 in 8 men</a> will get diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. The severeness of the disease and symptoms depend on several factors:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>👨🏻‍🦳 Age</strong>. Prostate cancer doesn't happen much in men under 40. The chance of early-stage prostate cancer increases after 50 years old. About <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/risk-factors.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">6 in 10 prostate cancers</a> are found in men who are 65 years or older.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>👨🏾‍🦱 <strong>Ethnicity</strong>. Prostate cancer is more common in African American men and Caribbean men of African descent. In these groups, it often happens at a younger age. On the contrary, prostate cancer occurs less frequently in Asian American, Hispanic, and Latino men. The reasons for these racial and ethnic differences remain unclear.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>🫂 <strong>Family history</strong>. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/risk-factors.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than doubles a man's risk</a> of developing the disease. The chances increase significantly if multiple relatives have had prostate cancer, especially if they were diagnosed at a younger age.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>🧬 <strong>Gene mutations</strong>. In a small number of cases, specific gene mutations are among the risk factors. For example, variants of the <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/risk-factors.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes</a>, which are associated with higher risks of breast, ovarian, and other cancers in some families, can also elevate prostate cancer risk in men, particularly mutations in BRCA2.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What are Prostate Cancer PSA Levels?</h2>\n\n<p>PSA stands for \"Prostate Specific Antigen\". It is a protein produced by normal and cancer cells in the prostate gland. <strong>Higher blood levels of PSA</strong> can be the first signs of prostate cancer.</p>\n\n<p>There's no specific data on what level of PSA is normal. However, the practitioners consider <a href=\"https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/psa-fact-sheet\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower</a> acceptable. Men with a PSA level <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/tests.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">between 4 and 10</a> (often called the “<strong>borderline range</strong>”) have about a 1 in 4 chance of having prostate cancer.</p>\n\n<p>Besides the growing cancer cells, PSA and prostate cancer risks depend on:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Age</strong>;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Prostate gland size</strong>;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Level of inflammation</strong>;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Ejaculation</strong>;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Vigorous exercises</strong> (such as cycling) 2 days before the exam;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Drugs</strong>, such as finasteride and dutasteride, are prescribed for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=psa-test/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PSA screening</a> is mandatory for all men over 50 to prevent prostate cancer. The doctors often use it together with the <a href=\"https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/psa-fact-sheet\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Rectum Exam</a> (DRE) for patients reporting prostate symptoms. However, the PSA test is not a \"golden standard\" for diagnosing prostate cancer. It indicates several benign (not cancerous) conditions:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/illness=prostatitis/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Prostatitis</strong></a> (prostate inflammation);</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/illness=bph/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Benign prostatic hyperplasia</strong></a> (prostate enlargement).</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What is the Gleason Score for Evaluating Prostate Cancer?</h2>\n\n<p>When prostate cancer is detected in biopsy samples, a pathologist assesses how aggressive it might be by giving it a grade. One of the most popular evaluation tools is the <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/how-diagnosed.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gleason system</a>. It measures how quickly the cancer cells are likely to grow and spread.</p>\n\n<p>The <strong>Gleason system</strong>, which has been used for many years, grades prostate cancer from 1 to 5 based on how closely it resembles normal tissue. A grade of <strong>1</strong> means the cancer looks a lot like the prostate gland, while a grade of <strong>5</strong> indicates that the tissue appears very abnormal. Grades <strong>2</strong> through <strong>4</strong> represent a range between these two extremes.</p>\n\n<p>The <strong>Gleason score</strong> for prostate cancer combines the two most common grades in the biopsy samples. The first number represents the tumor. For example, if the score is 3+4=7, it means most of the cancer is grade 3, with some grade 4, and these numbers are added together to get a total score of 7.</p>\n\n<p>That's why men with a Gleason score of 3+4=7 cancer <strong>tend to do better</strong> than those with 4+3=7 prostate cancer.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the Stages of Tumor Growth?</h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>Tumor, Nodes, and Metastasis (TNM) system</strong> determines how far prostate cancer has spread in the body. It helps doctors understand the stage of the tumor.</p>\n\n<p>Prostate cancer that is confined to the prostate is generally easier to treat successfully. However, if the cancer has spread (metastasized) outside the prostate, it usually requires treatments that affect the whole body, such as drug-based therapies.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🩻 T (Tumor)</strong> score indicates the size and extent of the original tumor in the prostate;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🩻 N (Nodes)</strong> score shows whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🩻 M (Metastasis)</strong> score reveals if the cancer has spread to other body parts.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Prostate cancer has <a href=\"https://www.urologyhealth.org/urology-a-z/p/prostate-cancer#Symptoms\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">four main stages</a>:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🟢 Early-stage | Stages I-II. </strong>The so-called \"localized\" cancer because the tumor doesn't spread beyond the prostate. The doctors can't see the cancer during the first stages with imaging tests.</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🟡 Locally advanced | Stage III</strong>. Cancer cells spread outside the prostate but only to nearby tissues. The doctors detect tumors during DRE or transrectal ultrasound;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>🔴 Advanced | Stage IV</strong>. The cancer spreads to lymph nodes, bones, liver, or lungs.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Some stages of prostate cancer split further (for example, IIA, IIB, IIC, etc.). Within each stage, an earlier letter signifies a lower stage. Although every individual's cancer experience is unique, cancers with similar stages often have a similar outlook and are typically treated in a similar way.</p>\n\n<h2>What is the Grading for Prostate Cancer?</h2>\n\n<p>The doctors divide prostate cancer patients into 5 groups, according to the Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG).

However, as the cancer cells grow, the following signs may appear:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Frequent urination, especially at night;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Difficulty starting or stopping urination;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Weak or interrupted urine flow;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Pain or discomfort in the lower back, hips, or pelvic area;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Blood in the urine or semen;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Erectile dysfunction;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Unexplained weight loss or fatigue;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Loss of appetite;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Bone pain.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Other diseases can cause these symptoms as well. However, as prostate cancer remains the <a href=\"https://www.wcrf.org/cancer-trends/prostate-cancer-statistics/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">second most common cancer</a> in men, its early detection can make a big difference in successful treatment outcomes.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the Screening Methods for Prostate Cancer?</h2>\n\n<p>Besides the <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=psa-test/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PSA test</a>, there's a whole range of exams to treat prostate cancer successfully.</p>\n\n<h3>Digital Rectal Exam</h3>\n\n<p>During a digital rectal exam (DRE), the doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to check the prostate for any unusual bumps or problematic areas that could be signs of cancer.</p>\n\n<p>Because the gland is in front of the rectum, the doctor can feel bumps or solid areas in the back in case of prostate cancer.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"stage 1 prostate cancer treatment\" src=\"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bookimed/_images_without_dir/66d725a49b9a4.jpeg\"></p>\n\n<p>(source - <a href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/prostate-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/tests.html\" target=\"_blank\">American Cancer Society</a>)</p>\n\n<p>The procedure might feel uncomfortable, especially if there are swollen veins, but it typically isn’t painful and only takes a few moments.</p>\n\n<h3>MRI or <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=transrectal-ultrasound-trus/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transrectal Ultrasound</a> (TRUS)</h3>\n\n<p>Also called a prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound, this test is often combined with a prostate biopsy. It allows to visualize the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. The <strong>TRUS-guided prostate biopsy</strong> has shown positive results in <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8957299/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">14-27% of men</a> who had negative biopsy tests before.</p>\n\n<h3><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=prostate-biopsy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prostate Biopsy</a></h3>\n\n<p>A core needle biopsy is one of the main diagnostic tools for prostate cancer. It is the choice for patients who have confirmed their prostate cancer with PSA and DRE tests.</p>\n\n<p>To diagnose prostate cancer, doctors take tissue samples either through the wall of the rectum (a <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=transrectal-ultrasound-guided-prostate-biopsy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>transrectal biopsy</strong></a>) or through the skin between the scrotum and anus (a <strong>transperineal biopsy</strong>). The urologists take a few tissue samples to examine them through a microscope.</p>\n\n<p>Although the procedure might seem painful, it causes only a short period of discomfort. This is because a special tool quickly inserts and removes the needle. Most specialists will use a local numbing medication before starting the biopsy to make the area less sensitive.</p>\n\n<p>The prostate biopsy takes about 10 minutes and is often performed in the doctor’s office. The doctors often recommend <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8883190/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">taking antibiotics</a> a few days before the procedure to prevent infection.</p>\n\n<h2>What are the Main Treatment Options?</h2>\n\n<p>Treatment for prostate cancer depends on several factors, including how fast the tumor is growing, whether it has spread, and the patient's overall health.</p>\n\n<p>For a man diagnosed with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer, there are <a href=\"https://www.pcf.org/about-prostate-cancer/prostate-cancer-treatment/choosing-treatment-option/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">three main treatment options</a>:</p>\n\n<h3><strong>🔬 Active Surveillance</strong></h3>\n\n<p>This method implies monitoring prostate cancer closely, without radical solutions. It includes regular doctor visits with revised PSA and DRE exams. The specialist might suggest other treatment options if the cancer changes its dynamic. This approach is best when the prostate cancer doesn't cause any visible changes or symptoms, such as trouble urination, and is expected to grow slowly;</p>\n\n<h3>👩🏻‍⚕️ <strong>Surgery</strong></h3>\n\n<p>The primary surgery for prostate cancer is called <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=prostatectomy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prostatectomy</a>. It involves removing the prostate gland, surrounding tissue, and a few lymph nodes.</p>\n\n<p>There are a few ways to access the prostate gland:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Open, or a radical, prostatectomy;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=laparoscopic-prostatectomy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Laparoscopic prostatectomy</a>;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=radical-prostatectomy-via-da-vinci-robotic-surgery/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robot-assisted prostatectomy</a>.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Surgery is an option for treating cancer that’s confined to the prostate and may be used to treat advanced prostate cancer in combination with other treatments.</p>\n\n<h3>⚡️Radiation Therapy</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=radiotherapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Radiation therapy</a> uses high-powered energy to kill cancer cells. Prostate cancer radiation therapy treatments may involve external <strong>beam radiation therapy</strong> or<br>\n<strong><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=brachytherapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brachytherapy (internal radiation)</a></strong>, which uses a machine to direct high-powered energy to prostate cancer.</p>\n\n<p>Radiation therapy might be considered for <strong>treating prostate cancer</strong>, depending on its stage and other factors:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>As the first treatment for prostate cancer that is still within the prostate gland, especially if it's in a lower-risk category. In these cases, the success rates are similar to those of men who undergo radical prostatectomy (<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10523124/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">92.4%</a> for radiation therapy compared to <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10523124/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">96.1%</a> for surgery);</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>As part of the initial treatment, combined with <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=hormone-therapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hormone therapy</a>, for cancers that are still in the prostate but are higher-risk or for cancers that have spread to nearby tissues;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>If surgery doesn’t altogether remove the prostate cancer or if the cancer returns in the area of the prostate after surgery;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>If the cancer is advanced, such as spreading to the bones, help control it for as long as possible and relieve symptoms.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>💊 Hormone Therapy</h3>\n\n<p>Prostate cancer cells rely on testosterone to help them grow, and cutting off the supply of testosterone may kill cancer cells or reduce their growth.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=hormone-therapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hormone therapy</a> for prostate cancer works by blocking the sex hormones called androgens (mainly testosterone), which cancer needs to grow. This can be done in a <a href=\"https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/prostate-hormone-therapy-fact-sheet\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">few different ways</a>:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Reducing the production of androgens by the testicles;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Blocking the effects of androgens throughout the body;</p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p>Stopping the body from making androgens altogether.</p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><img alt=\"prostate cure without surgery\" src=\"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bookimed/_images_without_dir/66d725d1d55a4.jpeg\"></p>\n\n<p>(source - <a href=\"https://www.cancer.gov/sites/g/files/xnrzdm211/files/styles/cgov_article/public/cgov_contextual_image/600/500/files/ProstateHormoneLoop6LowRes571.JPG?itok=tLZwByWY\" target=\"_blank\">National Cancer Institute</a>)</p>\n\n<h3>🩸 Chemotherapy</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=chemotherapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chemotherapy</a> is not a standard treatment for prostate cancer patients. Chemotherapy-exposed men have shown higher survival rates (<a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8649656/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">76.3%</a>) compared to chemotherapy-naive men who didn't receive treatment (survival rate <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8649656/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">70.5%</a>).</p>\n\n<p>Chemotherapy can be used with hormone therapy or by itself. It is an option for advanced cases, mainly when the cancer has spread extensively beyond the prostate gland.</p>\n\n<h3>🩺 Immunotherapy</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=immunotherapy-for-prostate-cancer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Immunotherapy</a> helps the body’s immune system kill prostate cancer cells. One type of immunotherapy approved by the <a href=\"https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/cellular-gene-therapy-products/approved-cellular-and-gene-therapy-products\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FDA</a> is a vaccine called <strong>sipuleucel-T (Provenge)</strong>. It increases the 36-month survival probability to <a href=\"https://www.mdpi.com/1718-7729/30/6/432\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">31.7% from 23.0%</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Sipuleucel-T is different from traditional vaccines, which are designed to prevent infections. Instead, this vaccine boosts the immune system to help it target and attack prostate cancer cells.</p>\n\n<p>This vaccine works for <strong>advanced prostate cancer</strong> that no longer responds to hormone therapy and is causing few or no symptoms.</p>\n\n<p>The doctors prescribe Sipuleucel-T <strong>individually</strong>. The medical personnel extracts white blood cells from the patient's blood to produce a vaccine. </p>\n\n<h2>What are the Specific Prostate Cancer Treatment Options?</h2>\n\n<figure>\n<table>\n\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Method of treatment</td>\n\t\t\t<td><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=brachytherapy-for-prostate-cancer/\">Brachytherapy</a> (Radiation Seed Implants)</td>\n\t\t\t<td><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=proton-therapy-for-prostate-cancer/\">Proton Therapy</a> for prostate cancer</td>\n\t\t\t<td><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=hifu-for-prostate-cancer-treatment/\">HIFU</a> (prostate ultrasound)</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Leuprolide injection</td>\n\t\t\t<td><a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinics/procedure=cryotherapy/\">Cryotherapy</a></td>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>Who’s it for?</td>\n\t\t\t<td>Men with early-stage prostate cancer who are in a lower-risk group.</td>\n\t\t\t<td>When the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.</td>\n\t\t\t<td>If the cancer comes back after radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy is more likely to cause bowel problems. <a href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/bowel-dysfunction-after-prostate-cancer-treatment\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">10-20%</a> of men report having diarrhea a few times each week after the procedure.</p>\n\n<h2>What is pT3b Prostate Cancer Prognosis?</h2>\n\n<p>pT3b means a locally advanced prostate cancer that has spread into seminal vesicles on both sides. It is a <a href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-023-00748-1\">high-risk disease</a> associated with a negative outcome. The overall survival rates for this stage are <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10241842/\">59-84%</a> in a 10-year period.</p>\n\n<p>Nevertheless, patients with clinically significant prostate cancer still have treatment options.</p>\n\n<p>These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>External beam radiation therapy (EBRT);</li>\n\t<li>Hormone therapy;</li>\n\t<li>Radical prostatectomy.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What is the newest and best treatment for prostate cancer?</h2>\n\n<p>In 2023, the <a href=\"https://www.fda.gov/drugs/resources-information-approved-drugs/fda-approves-enzalutamide-non-metastatic-castration-sensitive-prostate-cancer-biochemical-recurrence\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FDA approved</a> a medication called <a href=\"https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/research\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">enzalutamide</a>. It can be used alone or with another drug called leuprolide for men who have a rise in PSA levels (biochemical recurrence) and are at high risk of their cancer spreading.</p>\n\n<h2>Do patients need a urinary catheter after prostate removal?</h2>\n\n<p>During a radical prostatectomy, the surgeon inserts a catheter into a penis to help drain the bladder. The catheter has to stay in place <strong>for 1 to 2 weeks </strong>during healing. In a robot-assisted prostatectomy, though, the catheter doesn't stay longer than <a href=\"https://tau.amegroups.org/article/view/104613/html#B4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">2 days</a>. After the catheter is removed, normal urination can resume.</p>\n\n<h2>Can a patient ejaculate after prostatectomy?</h2>\n\n<p>After surgery, the feeling of orgasm should still be enjoyable, but there won't be any ejaculation of semen—this is known as a <a href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/dry-orgasm/basics/definition/sym-20050906\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\"dry\" orgasm</a>. This happens because the doctor removes the prostate and seminal vesicles, which produce most of the fluid for semen, and cuts the pathways for sperm.</p>\n\n<p>For some men recovering from prostate cancer, orgasms may feel less intense, and in rare cases, some might experience pain during orgasm.</p>\n\n<h2>Does Viagra work after prostate removal?</h2>\n\n<p>After surgical prostate cancer treatment, Viagra can help with erectile dysfunction, especially if the procedure did not significantly affect the nerves. However, everyone responds differently, so finding the correct dose might take some time.</p>\n\n<h2>Can a man with no prostate get a woman pregnant?</h2>\n\n<p>During a radical prostatectomy, the surgeon cuts the vas deferens, which are the pathways that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. Although the testicles will still produce sperm, the sperm can no longer leave the body as part of the ejaculate, meaning that <strong>natural conception is no longer possible</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Men with prostate cancer are often older, but for those who still wish to have children, it's possible to <strong>preserve fertility</strong>. Before surgery, they can store sperm in a sperm bank, allowing the option for fatherhood through assisted reproductive methods later on.</p>\n\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">How Bookimed Can Help Find Prostate Disease Treatment?</h2>\n\n<p>For patients in a hurry looking for the best solution, <a href=\"https://us-uk.bookimed.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bookimed</a> is a sure way to get the best treatment for prostate cancer in its early stages.
