    Common symptoms

    Prostate cancer can vary in its symptoms and is often asymptomatic in its early stages. This means that symptoms you wouldn't typically expect to be associated with your prostate may also occur.

    1

    Bladder problems

    Difficulty urinating, frequent urge to urinate, a weak urine stream.

    2

    Blood in the urine

    The appearance of blood in the urine can be an alarm signal and requires urgent medical examination.

    3

    Back pain or bone pain

    Advanced prostate cancer can spread to the bones and cause pain in the lower back or in the bones themselves.

    4

    Weight loss & general malaise

    In advanced stages, unintentional weight loss and general malaise may occur.

    Causes & risk factors

    The development of prostate cancer can be influenced by various factors. Although the exact causes are not fully understood, there are some known risk factors and potential triggers.

    Age

    The risk of cancer increases with age: men over 50 are more frequently affected, and most cases occur after the age of 65.

    Genetic predisposition

    Men with a family history of prostate cancer have an increased risk, for example, if their father or brother has already been diagnosed.

    Hormonal influences

    Hormonal changes, particularly an increase in the male sex hormone testosterone, can promote the growth of cancer cells in the prostate.

    Inflammations

    Prostate infections may slightly increase the risk of cancer. Lifestyle factors, such as physical fitness, may also be associated with the development.

    Diagnostic procedures

    Diagnosis is usually made during routine checkups or based on specific symptoms. We briefly introduce the most important diagnostic procedures:

    PSA test (prostate-specific antigen)

    This blood test measures the concentration of PSA in your blood. An elevated PSA level can indicate prostate cancer, but it can also have other causes.

    Digital rectal examination (DRE)

    During this physical examination, the doctor palpates the prostate through the rectum to look for changes or lumps.

    Imaging techniques

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) provide a detailed view of the prostate to identify tumors and assess their extent.

    Tissue sample (Biopsy)

    If abnormalities are detected, a tissue sample should be taken from your prostate and examined to determine if cancer cells are present. The Gleason score is determined based on the tissue sample.

    Staging

    If prostate cancer is diagnosed, other tests may be done to determine the stage and spread, including: MRI, bone scintigraphy, or positron emission tomography (PET-CT).

    Gleason Score

    The Gleason score describes the extent or degree of tissue changes and is crucial for further treatment options.

    Risk Assessment by Score

    Gleason ScoreHistological pattern
    6Well differentiated (low degree)
    7
    Moderately differentiated, with the subgroup:
    • 3+4: Gleason 3 (primary) and Gleason 4 (secondary)
    • 4+3: Gleason 4 (primary) and Gleason 3 (secondary)
    8Poorly differentiated
    9-10Very poorly differentiated

    What is the prognosis?

    The prognosis depends primarily on individual factors, including the Gleason score, PSA level, your age, and general health. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment plans therefore play a crucial role in improving your chances of recovery.
