Prostate Cancer
Diagnosis
Doctors may feel the prostate gland via the rectum
(Digital rectal examination)
in order to detect any abnormality. A small, hard nodule may reveal the presence
of cancer.
Further tests by measuring Prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) levels in your bloodstream followed by an Ultra
sound scan, can help to detect the disease. Preferably men older than age
40 should have an yearly Digital Rectal Examination and men older than 50 should
check their PSA levels yearly.
