In the U.S., prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is the second leading cause of cancer death in men (the first beinglung cancer). One man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. In many cases it can be a slow moving disease and does not re...
Stage II disease may also be further divided into the following depending on how much tissue is involved in the tumor (cancer):T2a: The cancer involves half or less of a lobe (section) of the prostate. T2b: The cancer involves half or more of a lobe of the prostate, but the other ...

A patient with early prostate cancer is usually asymptomatic. However, prostate cancer symptomsassociated with enlargement of the prostate due to prostate cancer, which may occur with early and late stage/advanced stage disease, include the following: Frequent urination, during the day and/or at nig...
Signs and symptoms of advanced prostate cancer (late-stage prostate cancer) that has already spread from the prostate gland to elsewhere in the body (called metastatic prostate cancer) include a new dull, then progressively severe, painin the bones, especially the low back; ...
Objective: To assess preoperative parameters that may be predictive of pathologic stage T2a disease in low-risk prostate cancer patients. Methods: Data from a cohort of 1,495 consecutive men with low-risk prostate cancer who underwent a radical prostatectomy between 1993 and 2009 were evaluated. Pr...

M1a: Distant lymph nodes are cancerous. M1b: Bone is involved. M1c: Another site or sites are involved. Staging Based on the TNM system Is as Follows: Stage I: T1a, NO, MO, low Gleason score (2-4) Stage II: T1a, NO, MO, intermediate or high Gleason score (5-10) ...
The reason why 27,000 men die of prostate cancer every year is not necessarily because we detect it too late; rather, it is because our primary, loco-regional therapies fail too often. Except for patients with low-risk disease (Stage ≤ T2a, Gleason score≤ 6, PSA < 10 ng/ml), loco...
