Prostate cancer - wafahamu kiasi gani juu ya ugonjwa huu???

Here are the TEN important things every Tanzanian

should know about prostate cancer:

•  About 1,250 Tanzanian men will probably be

diagnosed with prostate cancer this year — and

many of them will die of this disease. 

•  Only men can get prostate cancer. Women can

not get prostate cancer, because they do not

have a prostate 

•  If a man’s father, grandfather, uncle or brother has

or had prostate cancer, then he is at greater risk

than most men. 

• Black African men seem to be at a higher risk for

prostate cancer than White men, but we don’t know

why.

• In its earliest and most curable stages, prostate

cancer has no symptoms at all. 

• The key to the effective management of prostate

cancer is early detection, using regular physical

exams and simple blood tests called PSA tests. 

• Many men, particularly older men, with early stages

of prostate cancer, may never need to be treated

at all. 

• There are several ways to treat early stage prostate

cancer, and they all have similar results.

• Every form of treatment for prostate cancer has

some serious risks and some serious possible side

effects. 

• For any specific type of treatment, doctors with

extensive experience using that treatment

technique can reduce the patient’s risk for

complications.

What is Prostate Cancer?

•  
Prostate cancer starts in the prostate, a walnutsized gland found below the bladder.

•  
If it isn’t treated, prostate cancer follows a natural course, starting as a tiny group of cancer cells that can grow into a full-blown tumor. 

•  
In some men, prostate cancer that isn’t treated can spread (”metastasize”) and cause death.
