Symptoms of Prostate Cancer-Prostate cancer usually develops slowly and does not cause symptoms until the cancer has reached an advanced stage. Sometimes the symptoms resemble BPH, namely in the form of difficulty in urination and frequent urination. Symptoms are due to cancer causing partial blockage of urine flow through the urethra. Prostate cancer can cause red urine (because it contains blood) or urine caused the sudden arrest.
In some cases, newly diagnosed prostate cancer after spread to the bone (especially the pelvic bones, ribs and spine) or to the kidneys (causing kidney failure.) Painful bone cancer and brittle bones become so susceptible to fractures (broken bones). After the cancer spreads, usually the patient will suffer from anemia. Prostate cancer can also spread to the brain and cause seizures and mental or other neurological symptoms.

The best way to screen for prostate cancer is to perform digital rectal examination and blood tests. Digital rectal prostate cancer patients will show the existence of hard lumps of irregular shape. On examination the blood was measured levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), which is usually elevated in patients with prostate cancer, but also can increase (not too high) in patients with BPH. If the digital rectal examination found a lump, then conducted an ultrasound examination. By doing Skening X-rays or bone, can be known of the spread of cancer to bone.
