PROSTATE CANCER: HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE IT?

The more you read about prostate cancer, the more it seems that one factor is consistendy underplayed—its lack of early symptoms. This is just one way in which prostate cancer differs from other diseases, many of which have early warning signs. To put it bluntly, by the time a man has symptoms of prostate cancer, it’s probably too late to cure it. Unfortunately, when prostate cancer is in its earliest, most curable stages—before it has spread beyond the wall of the prostate—it is silent; it produces no symptoms.

That’s why so much effort is being poured into screening and early diagnosis. To be sure, our understanding of prostate cancer is expanding every day, and the battle is being waged encouragingly on all fronts: prevention, early diagnosis, effective treatment of curable disease, better management of advanced disease. But despite many advances—at least for the immediate future—it’s not likely that a breakthrough in gene therapy will enable doctors to keep prostate cancer from developing, or that scientists will make major strides in curing advanced disease. Right now, the sad truth is that there is no cure for advanced prostate cancer. Until there is, our best hope of reducing the number of deaths from prostate cancer lies in two tactics—early diagnosis and effective treatment of curable disease.
