Extractions: print this ... email this Overview Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is the clinical term for a cancerous tumor on the prostate gland. As prostate cancer grows, it may spread to the interior of the gland, to tissues near the prostate, to sac-like structures attached to the prostate (seminal vesicles), and to distant parts of the body (e.g., bones, liver, lungs). Prostate cancer confined to the gland often is treated successfully. Anatomy The prostate gland is located in the pelvis, below the bladder, above the urethral sphincter and the penis, and in front of the rectum in men. It is made up of glandular tissue and muscle fibers that surround a portion of the urethra. The gland is covered by a membrane (called the prostate capsule) that produces prostate-specific antigen.

Extractions: New Tests Create Treatment Dilemmas by John Henkel The names are familiar: actors Don Ameche, Bill Bixby, and Telly Savalas, entertainment mogul Steve Ross, rock musician Frank Zappa. Though show business links these men, they share another connection. Each has died of prostate cancer. If there's a silver lining to be found amid the clouds of these tragic deaths, it is that the fame of these men has helped spotlight a disease that now ranks as the second most common cancer men getafter skin cancer. The American Cancer Society says prostate cancer will strike 334,500 U.S. men in 1997, twice the number of male lung cancer cases. Some 41,800 will die. One out of every five American men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Public notice is something new to prostate cancer. For years, men didn't worry much about the disease. They typically thought of it as a slow-moving condition that affects men well past retirement, when they are likely to die of something else before succumbing to cancer. In many cases, that's still true. Most cases are in men 65 and older. But like Bixby, who was 59 when he died, and Zappa, who was 52, younger men also can fall victim.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Men over 50 who have higher levels of testosterone have a higher risk of prostate cancer, U.S. researchers reported Sunday. The findings may mean that men should be cautious about a new kind of treatment called testosterone replacement therapy, being tested in older men who see a decline in general health and vigor. A study of more than 750 men showed those with the highest levels of free testosterone in the blood were the most likely to have prostate cancer. "Since testosterone replacement therapy increases the amount of free testosterone in the blood, older men considering or receiving testosterone replacement should be counseled as to the association until data from long-term clinical trials becomes available," said Dr. Kellogg Parsons, a urologist at Johns Hopkins University who led the study, said in a statement. The association between free testosterone and prostate cancer risk in older men was not affected by height, weight, percent of body fat or muscle mass, Parsons told a meeting of the American Urological Association in San Francisco.
Prostate Cancer Support Group Prostate support group meeting at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital monthly. Online help, information, and contacts http://www.prostate.bravepages.com
Extractions: New News We have two new testimonials that give personal experiences with PCa. There are also quite a few new links that get information on treatments, support groups, state coalitions, etc. Our schedule has been updated. This group was formed more than 12 years ago as support for prostate cancer patients and their families. It was noted that patients families suffer as much, yet in different ways as the patient themself. Therefore the group has presented topics of interest on a monthly basis that allows spouse attendance. Occasionaly there will be a roundtable discussion meeting that is only attended by the patients. Topics of recent meetings have been ' Ultrasound advances What is done when the cancer returns Erectile Dysfunction ', and '
Extractions: The prostate gland is an organ that is located at the base or outlet (neck) of the urinary bladder. (See the diagram.) The gland surrounds the first part of the urethra. The urethra is the passage through which urine drains from the bladder to exit from the penis. One function of the prostate gland is to help control urination by pressing directly against the part of the urethra that it surrounds. Another function of the prostate gland is to produce some of the substances that are found in normal semen, such as minerals and sugar. Semen is the fluid that transports the sperm. A man can manage quite well, however, without his prostate gland. (See the section on surgical treatment for prostate cancer In a young man, the normal prostate gland is the size of a walnut. During normal aging, however, the gland usually grows larger. This enlargement with aging is called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), but this condition is not associated with prostate cancer. Both BPH and prostate cancer, however, can cause similar problems in older men. For example, an enlarged prostate gland can squeeze or impinge on the outlet of the bladder or the urethra, leading to difficulty with urination. The resulting symptoms commonly include slowing of the urinary stream and urinating more frequently, particularly at night.

Extractions: The Prostate Cancer Genetic Research Study ( PROGRESS )is a nationwide research project exploring why some families have several male relatives with prostate cancer. Discovering the inherited genes for prostate cancer in families and how they work will hopefully provide new clues to help diagnose, treat, cure, and even prevent prostate cancer in future generations. The Prostate Cancer Genetic Research Study is being conducted by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. This research is made possible by funding from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health , with additional support from CaP CURE and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Prepared By:

SOPHRONY -- Managing Testosterone Addiciton Learn the warning signs of this addiction, the risks of domestic violence and prostate cancer, and how to manage the addiction. http://sophrony.com
Extractions: This is the meeting place for everyone concerned about testosterone addiction. Some join us to manage their own testosterone levels, others because of the people they care about. Here we share our experiences and our suggestions for coping with this condition. We want to clarify the true nature of this problem - testosterone addiction is not a disease or a moral failing . It is a set of compulsive, often destructive, behaviors that can be changed and managed over time, with support and determination. As the effects of hormone overload are reduced, natural human qualities are able to shine through. All the photos throughout this website are of the same person, in order to display visually across more than fifty years the various stages of his testosterone addiction. Hopefully, the photos illuminate the text and make it easier to recognize the addiction. If you click on the navigational links beginning with Warning Signs , you can quickly review our suggestions.
