Causes
Actual causes of prostate cancer are still unknown. But, more commonly, the age factor, race, and family history are standing as the main risk factors that are causing this cancer.
0 Age: The risk factor for the cause of this cancer increases as the age increases. It is very uncommon to find symptoms of this cancer in 45 years aged man. In general, the symptoms can be diagnosed at an age of 70.
1 Family History: This is another main cause of prostate cancer. The risk factor doubles, if a person’s father or brother is suffering from this cancer.
2 Race: American African men are at higher risk of getting affected than the Caucasian or Hispanic male population of America.
3 Consumption of red meat and processed meat
4 Lower Vitamin D levels in blood
5 Taking higher doses of multivitamins
6 Higher alcohol consumption.
7 Elevated testosterone levels in blood
8 Obesity
9 Cigarette smoking

Prostate Cancer Diagnosis The only diagnostic test available for prostate cancer is prostate biopsy. In general, prostate biopsy is advised only when the PSA levels in the blood are high. Biopsy is generally done on out-patient basis. Local anesthesia is given and a small piece of prostate is removed by inserting a biopsy gun.
A microscopic examination is done on this piece with respect to the Gleason score to confirm cancer. Apart from this, prostate imaging techniques Ultrasound, and MRI is also used for detection.

Prostate Cancer Treatment
Generally, progression of prostate cancer is very slow. Thus, no treatment method is necessary in most of the cases. It is best for the initial stage prostate cancer patients to go active surveillance. This involves having regular blood test, or biopsies to monitor the progression of cancer. This helps in avoiding the side effects of the treatments such as erectile dysfunction, and involuntary urine leakage.
However, there are even cases of advanced prostate cancer. For these cases, treatment for prostate cancer is decided depending upon the Gleason score, and PSA levels. The available treatment methods for advanced prostate cancer include prostatectomy surgery, radiotherapies, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy.

Prostate Cancer Surgery
Prostatectomy is the surgical method of treatment for prostate cancer. In this method, prostate gland, and surrounding tissues are removed by making a surgical incision. Types of prostatectomy surgeries done include
1 Radical retropubic prostatectomy, in which incision is made in abdomen for removing prostate gland
2 Radical perineal prostatectomy, in which incision is made in perineum for removing prostate gland
3 Nerve-sparing prostatectomy, in which the very edges of the prostate gland are cut. While doing this surgery at most care is taken to spare the erectile nerve that run all over the gland.

Radiotherapy:
Radiotherapy involves in killing of cancer cells in prostate gland and its surrounding tissues with the help of radiation. Various radiotherapies include
1 External Beam Radiotherapy: This is the most common radiotherapy used in prostate cancer treatment. In this X-Rays are targeted on the areas containing cancer cells.
2 Proton Therapy: In this treatment method, proton beam is used for killing the cancer cells. Advantage of using proton beam over the external beam radiotherapy is that in this method just the prostate cancer cells are targeted and killing, but not the surrounding tissues.
3 Prostate brachytherapy: In this method, with the help of small needles tiny radioactive iodine, or palladium palates are inserted directly in the prostate glands. These palates are placed exactly where the cancer cells are existing. These palates will be emitting radiation, which gradually kills the cancer cells in few months.

Chemotherapy:
This method involves in using of various chemotherapy drugs for controlling, or killing of prostate cancer cells.

Hormonal Therapy: Another name for this therapy is androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). In this method, testosterone, which is the fuel for prostate gland cells, is stopped from being released, or prevented from being acting on prostate cells. This helps in stopping the progression of prostate cancer.
Apart from these methods, a person can also go for primary hormone therapy, or cryotherapy, or High-intensity focused ultrasound for treating prostate cancer.

Disease care
1 to maintain appropriate body weight to maintain a body mass index (BMI) less than 30, body mass index = weight (kg) / height 2 (m2).
2 adhere to the physical exercise, physical activity should be appropriate. 3 plant-based diet.
4 no smoking, no alcohol.
5 to restrict fat intake, fat intake does not exceed 20% of the total caloric intake.
6 do not eat junk food, try to avoid saturated fat in the diet.
7 eat more fish, because fish are rich in certain beneficial fatty acids.
8 daily consumption of fruits and vegetables 7-9 meals, and limit the intake of sugar and salt, can prevent cancer, but also to maintain a healthy heart.
9 consumption of foods rich in fiber, at least 30 grams a day.
10 1 or 2 times the daily consumption of soy products can be low-fat soy milk, tofu, beans, protein powder.
11 taking adequate doses of calcium and vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis.

Physical activity for weight control, preserve muscle, keeping bones strong and reduce the incidence of heart disease has a very important role. Persist in physical activity also helps to maintain good body balance, promote sleep, reduce anxiety. Physical exercise, you can also subtract the excess fat. Strength training (such as cycling, weight-bearing exercises, etc.) can help patients to increase muscle mass, help to improve the capacity of the energy consumed in the resting state; but also to promote healthy bones, improve balance, help to reduce falls and fractures incidence . The aerobic training consisted of brisk walking, dancing, hiking, swimming and jogging, etc., to consume energy when in motion, within a few hours after the end of the exercise, continue to burn fat, energy consumption. In addition, the healthy body so that patients have a better immune system, which is an important capital to fight prostate cancer. Mild regular physical activity is the main dance, moved quickly to work, cleaning the house, etc., moderate-intensity physical exercise, including playing 30 minutes of badminton, playing 15 to 20 minutes of basketball, swimming, 20 minutes, 30 minutes of rowing or 15 minutes within a run of two kilometers. Each person's maximal exercise, and no more than moderate-intensity exercise. Most experts recommend exercising at least 3 to 4 times a week, each 30 minutes of exercise, exercise intensity is 60% to 70% of personal maximum physical strength. No matter you choose what kind of exercise, must persevere in order to obtain long-term gains.
