Early prostate cancer is usually completely asymptomatic. By the
time that prostate cancer becomes bothersome or clinically
apparent it has usually spread beyond the confines of the
prostatic capsule and is no longer amenable to cure. In the
first world early prostate cancer is usually diagnosed following
screening. Prostate cancer can also be a chance finding in the
tissue removed by transurethral resection for suspected benign
prostatic enlargement.
The primary tumor can cause lower urinary tract symptoms similar
to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Obstructive symptoms include
poor stream, incomplete emptying and straining while passing
urine. Irritative symptoms include dysuria, frequency, urgency
and nocturia. Prostate cancer can also cause blood in the urine
but this is not common.
Prostate cancer typically spreads to the bony skeleton and the
lymph glands of the pelvis. Bony metastases commonly involve the
lower spine and pelvic girdle causing backache. Lymphatic
involvement can cause swelling of the legs and obstruction of
the drainage tubes of the kidneys (ureters). Prostate cancer can
cause renal failure by ureteric obstruction or by bladder outlet
obstruction.
