Prostate Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the prostate, a gland of the male reproductive system located below the bladder. It usually grows slowly and is more common as age advances.
Common symptoms: In early stages it may cause no discomfort. Over time it is possible to notice difficulty or changes when urinating, a need to do so frequently, especially at night, or the presence of blood in the urine.
When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to seek an evaluation in the face of persistent urinary changes or as part of the checkups recommended according to age and family history.
Which specialist treats it? The radiation oncologist takes part in the management of prostate cancer through radiation therapy, within an approach that may involve several professionals. Consulting promptly about any urinary change makes an appropriate workup easier.
