Diagnosis is the process of identifying a disease, such as cancer, from its signs and symptoms. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- Seemingly, according to a study by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center, without the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening the number of men presenting with cases of metastatic prostate cancer would be three times greater than the actual number observed. Metastatic, having to do with metastasis, which is the spread of cancer from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body. PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland and found in the blood. PSA blood levels may be higher than normal in men who have prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or infection or inflammation of the prostate gland. Also called prostate-specific antigen. Prostate-specific antigen is a protein made by the prostate gland and found in the blood. Prostate-specific antigen blood levels may be higher than normal in men who have prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or infection or inflammation of the prostate gland. Also called PSA. Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen. Prostate cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in older men. Screening, checking for disease when there are no symptoms. Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast), colonoscopy (colon), and the Pap test and HPV test (cervix). Screening can also include checking for a person`s risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test. Antigen, any substance that causes the body to make a specific immune response.
- It`s been discovered that, prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer and the risk of overt metastatic disease at presentation Analysis of trends over time. Analysis is a process in which anything complex is separated into simple or less complex parts.
- It would seem to be apparant that, there would be 25,000 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who had metastases at the time of diagnosis rather than the 8,000 cases actually seen currently, said Edward M.
