ABC Medical for ZERO Prostate Cancer

Nov 3, 2017 8:48:24 PM / by Işıl Tanyeri

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer. In fact, every 20 minutes another American man dies from prostate cancer.

One in 8 American men will have prostate cancer during his lifetime. Currently there are nearly 2.9 million American men living with the disease.

When diagnosed at an early stage, prostate cancer can usually be treated successfully. In fact, almost 100 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer today will be alive in five years.

Unless it hasn't spread outside the prostate gland, the common cure for prostate cancer is by a surgery.

The main type of surgery for prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy. In this operation, the surgeon removes the entire prostate gland plus some of the tissue around it, including the seminal vesicles.

The major possible side effects of radical prostatectomy are urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. These side effects can also occur with other forms of prostate cancer treatment.
