One of the major symptoms of prostate cancer is the prostate getting bigger. However, not every case of prostate enlargement suggests or leads to cancer – sometimes, the prostate increases in size on its own as time goes by, in a phenomenon called benign prostate enlargement (BPE). An enlarged prostate will produce a prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a type of protein that will be present in the blood, regardless of the cause of the enlargement. In this article, consultant urologist Mr Karan Wadhwa explains more about the relationship between PSA and prostate cancer concerns.
Surgery is the primary treatment for kidney cancer, particularly in cases where the tumour is localised. It offers a high success rate, with many patients achieving long-term remission. The effectiveness of surgery depends on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and the specific surgical approach used.
