Prostate Cancer-Prostate Cancer-The best way to screen for prostate cancer are digital rectal examination and blood tests.
Digital rectal cancer in patients with prostate would indicate the presence 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 performing x-rays or bone skening, can be known of the spread of cancer to bone.
Other tests are performed:
* Analysis of the urine
* Cytology of urine or prostatic fluid
* Prostate biopsy.
