Significant breakthroughs have been realized in medical care in modern times. Prostate cancer screening process is a disease control method that detects the presence of the cancer in advance before the symptoms become present. The cancerous growth takes a long while to develop although in some cases it does not develop.
The prostate tumor is detected by carrying out various tests that should show its presence. The Digital-Rectal exam which is carried out by the doctor who inserts a finger in gloves which has been lubricated into the rectum. The doctor should be able to estimate the size of the prostate glands and tell if there's the presence of any abnormal features or lumps on the glands.
The degree of the prostate specific antigens which are also produced by the prostate in the blood are measured by the Prostate Specific Antigen test. This test examines the PSA levels and measures its relation to the cancer. They are higher in men with the tumor present in their glands. The PSA levels risk increasing due to certain issues such as medical processes and medications and in other situations age and race could affect them too.
The asymptomatic cancer could be examined and probed by the The PSA based screening technique. There are various types of asymptomatic cancer that are aggregated by the screen tests, this may cause either a non progressive or progressive cancerous growth that would have remained asymptomatic in other instances.
The primary goal of cancer screening is to decrease the number of deaths caused by this disease. It would also reduce the development of the metastasizing disease. Men detected with cancerous growth are divided into three categories depending on how far the tumor has spread. Those who shall result in death despite speedy detection as well as treatment, those who survive in the absence of screening and those who eventually survive due to the early diagnosis and proper treatment. There's a smaller chance of survival even with the early diagnosis and treatment.
The PSA test could provide a fifty-fifty situation on the results they are not certain and may be true or false while in some cases cause harm on the patient. The false results may be caused by negative psychological situations that affect the patients such as continuous worry on the cancer situation. Biopsy is a form of treatment that the patients may undergo. They are likely to be exposed to urinary difficulties, fever, pain, bleeding and infections are advised to consult medical assistance and follow up if this happens. The long-term effect of the PSA screening is still uncertain. Studies carried out may have proven there's a low chance of the reduction of the cancer's mortality rate.
PSA screening's long term effects have not been proven yet. Although studies carried out show that their efficiency in reducing the cancers mortality rates have not been successful so far and are minimal. Most men experience the effects of the screen detection and the treatment procedure too early and recurrent and thus are more prone to early deaths.
Effects of the screen tests and also treatment process are experienced more than the benefits by the patients. Patients risk over treatment or over diagnosis of cancer due to the screening and treatment of a disease that would have remained asymptomatic all their lives. They risk going through health deteriorating effects.
Balance between the benefits and detriments of early diagnosis and treatment is necessary in determining if there's a chance of survival for the patient or proves to be detrimental to the prostate tumor due to the constant harm caused by the medical procedures.
