Significant breakthroughs have been realized in medical care in modern times. Prostate cancer screening process is a disease control method that detects the presence of the cancer in advance before the symptoms become present. The cancerous growth takes a long while to develop although in some cases it does not develop.
The prostate tumor is detected by carrying out various tests that should show its presence. The Digital-Rectal exam which is carried out by the doctor who inserts a finger in gloves which has been lubricated into the rectum. The doctor should be able to estimate the size of the prostate glands and tell if there's the presence of any abnormal features or lumps on the glands.
The degree of the prostate specific antigens which are also produced by the prostate in the blood are measured by the Prostate Specific Antigen test. This test examines the PSA levels and measures its relation to the cancer. They are higher in men with the tumor present in their glands. The PSA levels risk increasing due to certain issues such as medical processes and medications and in other situations age and race could affect them too.
After the PSA based screening tests a patient may test positive for asymptomatic cancer which may or may not develop over time. This entirely depends on the patient.
The main purpose of the screening is to reduce the deaths of the patients as well as the metastasization of the disease. Prostate tumor patients have three possible occurrences. Some of them may die despite the early detection and adequate treatment, some of them will survive even with no prior screening procedures and some of them survive with the early detection and proper adequate treatment however, there's a lesser chance of survival in this case.
Negative psychological traumas such as constant agitation concerning cancer could affect the PSA test results. These results have uncertainty and are not a hundred percent reliable. The screening procedure may harm the patient and bring about certain effects such as pain, fever, bleeding, infections and urinary difficulties. The treatment procedures such as biopsies could also lead to the patient experiencing some of these effects and are thus advised to consult medical advice as soon as they occur.
The screen detection and the treatment process of the tumor have caused most if not all effects experienced by most patients, they are too persistent and unprecedented thus may cause an early death.
Men are constantly exposed to effects that are more than the benefits brought about by the screen tests and treatment procedures. Over treatment as a result of the screen tests and treatment processes cause the men to experience unexpectedly harmful effects that would interfere with the asymptomatic stage of the disease.
There is the need to examine the equilibrium between the pros and con's of the screen tests and treatment procedures. They should predetermine what it would do to them, if it would worsen the situation due to its devastating effects or prevent their deaths which has very low chances of occurring.
