The prostate is a delicate and rather fickle organ, requiring more care, an aspect that is neglected by most men. Prostatitis is an infection of the prostate that occurs mainly in young men. Prostate adenoma is a benign tumor, known as the periurethral prostatic hypertrophy or adenoma. Prostate cancer appears frequently in men over 50 years, and plays an important role in urologic pathology. He has a slow and insidious clinical course without immediate manifestations, clearly noticeable, being often discovered incidentally, during a general exam.

The frequency of prostate cancer ranks third in men after lung cancer and the stomach, being the fourth leading cause of cancer death. Worldwide distribution shows a large increase, especially in the Nordic countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland and in the West. In the U.S., for example, in the last five years, the number of cases of prostate cancer has doubled, and in France, over 25,000 men are annually touched by this disease. Prostate cancer is rare in Eastern Europe and very rare in Asia. As with breast cancer in women, risk increases with age, therefore, a careful medical examination is recommended in men over 50 years, especially in those with family history.

Risk factors for prostate cancer

- Age is undoubtedly the main risk factor. Almost 3/4 quarters of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over 65 years.
-Family history. Studies show an increase of 2-5 times the risk in men with a family history compared to those without family history. Currently, specialized teams are looking for the gene responsible for the generation of prostate tumors (in 1999 HPC 1 gene was identified, by teams of American and Swedish researchers), but research is in progress.
-Endocrine factors: about 80 percent of prostate cancers are hormonal.
-BPH, although a benign lesion, is considered a borderline lesion (15 percent can generate a prostate cancer).
-Vasectomy as contraception, may lead to prostate hypertrophy, increasing the risk of cancer.
-Food factor. It was found that a diet containing fat (especially animal fat), can promote prostate cancer. Cancer occurs less frequently in vegetarians and has a high frequency in those with high protein food and sweets, associated with alcohol and tobacco. Meanwhile, those who eat fish are 2-3 times less at risk of prostate cancer than those who do not eat fish at all, or eat in small quantities. Recent studies, although controversial, also show that a diet rich in calcium but low in fructose, increases the risk of prostate cancer.
- Excessive sexual activity and multiple partners increase the risk of prostate cancer
- Specific and nonspecific infections: prostatitis treated incorrectly, viral infections (herpes and papilloma).

Cancer detection

As noted above, prostate cancer has a slow clinical course without immediate and obvious manifestations. It is therefore very important, as 50 years old men go to the doctor once a year for a rectal examination. This can be done by any doctor, regardless of specialty. In addition to digital rectal examination, if cancer is suspected, a biopsy should be performed, and blood analysis, for the determination of a substance called prostate specific antigen (PSA). If there is family history, it is important that this examination be made starting at age of 40.
