Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer Treatment In India
Beyond Conventional Treatment. Grounded in Evidence.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, and its incidence in India is rising steadily. It is a cancer that often grows silently; many men live with it for years without a single symptom. When symptoms do appear, they are easy to mistake for a routine prostate condition.
What makes prostate cancer particularly significant is how much early detection changes the outcome. Caught before it spreads, it is highly treatable. Left undetected, it becomes considerably harder to manage.
Dr Tarang Krishna combines clinical oncology with Cancer Healer Therapy, strengthening your body's ability to respond, recover, and rebuild at every stage of treatment.
What Is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. It sits below the bladder. The disease ranges from slow-growing tumours that may never cause harm to aggressive forms that spread rapidly to the bones and lymph nodes. Understanding which type you are dealing with is the foundation of every treatment decision.
What Are the Types of Prostate Cancer?
Accounts for over 95% of all prostate cancers. It originates in the gland cells of the prostate. It can be low-grade and slow-growing or high-grade and aggressive.
A rare, aggressive form that does not produce PSA, making it harder to detect through routine screening.
Originates in the cells lining the urethra and bladder neck. Rare in the prostate.
Develops from squamous cells covering the prostate. Tends to grow and spread faster than adenocarcinoma.
Begins in the cells lining the ducts of the prostate gland. Often more aggressive than standard adenocarcinoma.
What Are the Causes and Risk Factors of Prostate Cancer?
The exact causes of prostate cancer are not fully understood, but several reasons have been consistently identified in research.
Lifestyle and Environmental factors:
High-fat diet, particularly red meat and processed foods
Obesity
Sedentary lifestyle with limited physical activity
Occupational exposure to cadmium or industrial chemicals
Smoking
Biological and Genetic factors:
Age
Family history of prostate cancer, particularly in a father or brother
Gene mutations
African or Caribbean ethnic background carries a higher inherent risk
Elevated testosterone levels over prolonged periods
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer?
When prostate cancer symptoms do appear, they typically relate to urinary function because of the prostate's proximity to the bladder and urethra.
Early signs and symptoms of prostate cancer include:
Frequent urination, particularly at night
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
Burning sensation during urination
Blood in urine or semen
Erectile dysfunction
Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area
Bone pain in the lower back, hips, or thighs is a sign that cancer may have spread
Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
Many of these prostate cancer symptoms overlap with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. The only way to distinguish between the two is through proper clinical evaluation and testing.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms persistently, do not self-diagnose. Visit a specialist today.
How Is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?
An accurate prostate cancer diagnosis determines staging, treatment eligibility, and long-term prognosis.
Blood Test
Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is the preferred imaging modality for localising suspicious areas within the prostate before biopsy
Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Biopsy (TRUS Biopsy)
Gleason Score and Grade Group
Bone Scan and CT Scan
PSMA PET Scan
