It affects the urinary system, as that is the system it belongs to and causes the symptoms associated with BPH and prostate cancer. It may also affect any other system it may spread to.

Prostate cancer feels off testosterone. That's why, to stop the cancer, the testicles are removed. That's why I assume that it may raise the risk of developing the cancer. May is the operative word. Nothing is completely proven to my knowledge.

no idea what those two big words are or mean

Old men develop cancer when their hormone levels DROP. Young men have lots more hormones and seldom get prostate cancer. There are lots of studies showing that old men are helped in many ways by supplementing testosterone. It's really odd that it isn't more common. Unless they already have cancer, then it isn't good. Taking unnecessary hormones by young men is a problem in many ways.

39 years old is the youngest that I know of... It is not likely that he has a detectable Prostate cancer at age 18. Prostatitis or Urinary Infections are more likely. Young men have a higher chance of having testicular problems... they should be informed. They should know that if there is a (testiculat) problem or changes like a lump or pain- to let a parent and/or Dr. know asap. Time is of the essance and the sooner the better if there is a testicular cancer. Teens are at a higher risk for that... but men can get it later in life as well the risk decreases with age for testicular CA but increases for Prostate CA. If you're over 50, have abnormal s/s - or a family history of prostate cancer-it's a good idea to get a (the routine blood test/cancer screening)-P.S.A.. Prostatic Specific Antigen -is helpful with your exam. Hope to be of help! :)

Prostate cancer usually doesn't cause symptoms in its early stages. Between 60% and 70% of men who are older than 80 who have prostate cancer have no symptoms. 2 When there are symptoms, they may include: * Having difficulty starting your urine stream. This is called hesitancy. * Having a weaker than normal urine stream. * Being unable to urinate at all. * Having to urinate often. * Feeling that your bladder is not emptying completely when you urinate. * Having to get up at night to urinate. This is called nocturia. * Having pain or a burning feeling when you urinate. This is called dysuria. * Having blood in your urine. This is called hematuria. * Having blood in your semen. This is called hematospermia. * Having a deep pain in your lower back, abdomen, hip, or pelvis. Go here---> http://www.prostatecancerfoundation.org/

My grandfather hardly had any symptoms, and didn't know he had it until a doctor found it. He got radiation treatment and survived. Check with a doctor at least once a year. And many people survive it. Good luck!

I had it, didn't know it. I was feeling just great at the time and it was very scary to learn I had the big "C". I had no symptoms at the time and I was 54 when it was found.

Unfortunately, there are really none specifically. That is why the best idea is to have regular PSA tests by your doctor. It's just a simple blood test but take it from me it's very important to have done, even if you don't suspect you might have it. If others in your family have had it or breast cancer, it's especially important to have the test and it's hereditary

Getting up more than twice during the night to go to the bathroom, difficulty emptying the bladder, reduced force of the stream, difficulty starting the stream. However, the same things happen with benign prostate hypertrophy. During your annual physical, the doc will do a check of the prostate. If he feels any bumps or lumps, you will be sent for a biopsy. The only way to tell for certain is to have the PSA (prostate specific antigen) level checked. If it is high, biopsies will be done. Any infection or inflammation of the prostate will raise the PSA, as will a recent ejaculation. It is recommended to have a PSA drawn yearly if you are over age fifity, but prostate cancer has been found in younger men. The prostate keeps growing throughout life, and as it grows, the PSA becomes slightly higher. A higher PSA in a seventy or eighty year old man does not necessarily mean that he has prostate cancer.

Is prostate cancer an endocrine system disorder

Is prostate cancer an endocrine system disorder?
Can it be considered for an endocrine system disorder or disease.

No it is part of the male reproductive system. The endocrine system are glands that produce hormones. It includes the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries and testis.
2 :
Hi Sam, There is rising evidence both from epidemiology studies and animal models that precise endocrine-disrupting compounds might regulate the expansion or development of prostate cancer. In huge part, these things come into view to be connected to intervention with estrogen signaling, either through interacting with ERs or by regulating steroid metabolism and altering estrogen levels within the body. In humans, epidemiologic confirmation associates specific pesticides, PCBs and lifeless arsenic exposures to eminent prostate cancer risk. Studies in animal models also show intensification of prostate carcinogenesis with several other environmental estrogenic compounds including cadmium, UV filters and BPA. Significantly, there seems to be sharp sensitivity of the prostate to these endocrine disruptors throughout the critical developmental windows together with utero and neonatal time points as well as during puberty.

MatthardyV1, As with many other types of cancer, the outcome of prostate cancer depends on the stage of the cancer. Prostate cancer statistics are usually grouped into - Localised disease - stages 1 and 2. Locally advanced disease - the cancer has grown through the covering of the prostate gland (stage 3). Cancer that has spread to another part of the body, such as the bones (stage 4). With prostate cancer, the outlook also depends on how the cells look under a microscope. This is called the grade of the cancer. In prostate cancer, this is recorded as the Gleason score. A Gleason score of between 2 and 6 is a low grade prostate cancer. It is likely to grow very slowly. A Gleason score of 7 is an intermediate grade that will grow at a moderate rate. A Gleason score of 8 to 10 is a high grade cancer that is likely to grow more quickly. The third factor is the level of PSA - Prostate-Specific Antigen, this is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood when the patient is diagnosed. A low stage cancer with a high PSA level may sometimes grow more quickly than a higher stage cancer with a lower PSA. No statistics can tell you what will happen to the patient. Their cancer is unique - for example, the same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people. The statistics are not detailed enough to define the different treatments people may have had. And/or how that treatment may have affected their prognosis. Many individual factors will determine the treatment and prognosis. If details of your grandfather's health and prognosis are required you would be advised to contact the doctor/oncologist treating him. ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED. It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms. The information provided here should not be used during any medical emergency or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions. Hope this helps matador 89

it depends on a lot of circumstances, his health, what stage it is and so on. My dad had bladder and prostate cancer and had both of them removed in Oct. of last year. He is doing fairly well now he was lucky and didn't even have to take treatments. Good luck!
