In recent genome-wide association studies it said a minimum of 30 common genetic loci associated with prostate cancer.]]> 2016-02-24 17:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97075174 Describe the signs and symptoms in detail 89312 https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97075349 Problems with urination and sexual function. when the prostate starts to grow it will put pressure on the urethra so the flow of urine can stop, start and sometimes be weak or cause a burning feeling. There can also be blood in urine and semen.]]> 2016-02-24 17:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97075349 Possible treatments 89312 https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97075870 Depending how severe the prostate cancer is and how big the clusters are. If the clusters are small it can be harmless in this situation the doctor uses the “wait and watch” If the cluster is a large the doctor may feel having surgery is the best possible option. Radiation can be an option for either after the surgery or in replace of the surgery in this case the treatment is aimed right at the cluster. The last treatment possible is for a recurrence or advanced disease chemotherapy.]]> 2016-02-24 17:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97075870 Life expectancy 89312 https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97076391 Usually when diagnosed with prostate cancer men are usually in their late 60’s early 70’s because prostate cancer is often a slow growing cancer doctors typically find it in the early stages. Only 1 in 36 men die from prostate cancer. More often than not these men will usually die from something else before prostate cancer.]]> 2016-02-24 17:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97076391 How is Prostate Cancer classified? 94540 https://padlet.com/94540/be00fbtzbsen/wish/97176335 Scientists have found several inherited gene changes that seem to raise prostate cancer risk like; 
  1. Inherited mutations of the genes raise the risk of breast and ovarian cancers in some families. Mutations in these genes may also increase prostate cancer risk in some men.
  2. Men with Lynch syndrome, a condition caused by inherited gene changes, have an increased risk for a number of cancers, including prostate cancer.
