Browsing: Prostate Cancer

There is no single test that can confirm whether you have prostate cancer. Generally, your doctor evaluates your condition based on a set of tests to diagnose if you have cancer or any other condition such as infection or enlarged prostate etc. Your doctor may perform urine tests, blood tests, imaging tests or various other procedures.

One of the major differences between an enlarged prostate and prostate cancer is that enlargement of the prostate occurs when the prostate gland’s cells start multiplying, leading to inflammation of the prostate gland while prostate cancer occurs due to the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of the cells present within the prostate gland.
