Some types of prostate cancer grow slowly. In some of these cases, monitoring is recommended. Other types are aggressive and require radiation, surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy or other treatments
Testing healthy men with no symptoms for prostate cancer is controversial. There is some disagreement among medical organizations regarding whether the benefits of testing outweigh the potential risks. Most medical organizations encourage men in their 50s to discuss the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening with their doctors. The discussion should include a review of your risk factors and your preferences regarding screening. You might consider starting the discussions sooner if you're a Black person, have a family history of prostate cancer or have other risk factors.
When a biopsy confirms the presence of cancer, the next step is to determine the level of aggressiveness (grade) of the cancer cells. A doctor in a lab examines a sample of your cancer cells to determine how much cancer cells differ from the healthy cells. A higher grade indicates a more aggressive cancer that is more likely to spread quickly. Once a prostate cancer diagnosis has been made, your doctor works to determine the extent (stage) of cancer.
