Symptoms and Early Detection

Early detection of cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. If you experience any of the following symptoms for more than two weeks, consult your doctor for evaluation.

  1. Difficulty urinating or weak urinary stream
  2. Urinary frequency (especially at night)
  3. Urgency to urinate, inability to urinate, or interruption of urinary stream
  4. Pain or burning with urination
  5. Blood in urine or semen
  6. Pain in lower back, hips, or thighs
  7. Erectile dysfunction

Screening Guidelines

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test: Men aged 40-50+ years with discussion of risks/benefits; higher risk (family history, African descent) may start earlier

Many cancers are detected at earlier stages through regular screening in asymptomatic individuals at risk. Speak with your healthcare provider about recommended screening protocols based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
