Step #1. Determine if cancer is present.


In early stages, prostate cancer generally has no symptoms, so most cases are detected by screening tests.

Advanced prostate cancer may result in swollen lymph nodes in the groin, problems maintaining an erection, and pain in the groin area, spine, hips, or ribs. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor.

Step #2. If cancer is present, get a biopsy


If the biopsy shows cancer, is there a way to find out if it's the dangerous, fast-growing kind?


Step #3. Is the cancer fast or slow growing?


Doctors use a method called the Gleason system to estimate how aggressive a prostate cancer may be. Malignant cells are examined under a microscope and graded on a scale of 1 to 10 according to how different they look from normal cells.

Step #4 Big question at this point????

The Gleason score is far from conclusive; still, the higher the score, the more likely the cancer will grow and spread rapidly. Doctors may also look at changes in your PSA level over time to gauge the cancer's aggressiveness.

It appears that science has left us hanging at this point!

To Repeat...The Gleason score is far from conclusive;

Step #5. Do you or do you not remove the prostate?

Now as far as Recaf is concerned, we must review Step #1.

prostate cancer generally has no symptoms, so most cases are detected by screening tests.

Advanced prostate cancer may result in swollen lymph nodes in the groin, problems maintaining an erection, and pain in the groin area, spine, hips, or ribs. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor.

Catching prostate cancer late (IN ADVANCED STAGES) is not acceptable. Thus we are currently stuck with a screening process that is very poor.

There are two basic screening methods. Neither is perfect; both have high false-positive rates, meaning that they frequently indicate cancer when there is none.

One is known as a digital rectal examination (DRE), in which your doctor checks for lumps or other abnormalities by feeling your prostate with a gloved finger.

The other is a blood test called the prostate-specific antigen test (PSA) which measures a substance that typically increases in men when they have prostate cancer.

If either is questionable then A BIOPSY IS PERFORMED

"The sample will then be examined for cancerous cells."

OOPS, Remember,
...The Gleason score is far from conclusive;

We are again left hanging by current technology.

IS IT SLOW GROWING OR FAST GROWING?

The only way to determine this is...

A. Wait to see if it becomes (Advanced with symptoms) NOT GOOD!!

B. Have it removed.

So..Currently in August of 2009 the doctor cannot determine if the prostate cancer is fast or slow growing.

This means, either have it removed or play the odds game.
