This swelling or enlargement blocks off the urethra. This blockage can cause difficulty in urinating or it may interfere with sexual function. The symptoms for this may be similar to prostate cancer. Other tests, such as an ultrasound, x-rays, CT scan, MRI, blood tests, urine tests, PSA, and others may be needed. The ultrasound test uses sound waves to make a picture of the bladder.
Chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs to kill the cancer cells.
Hormone therapy uses hormones to stop the cancer cells from growing. Biological therapy uses methods to get your body to fight the cancer. Watchful observation, without treatment, may also be an option for some individuals, especially those over age 70. These men may live many years with untreated prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is often found when the cancer is at an early stage.
