A staging workup can also determine whether the cancer is confined to the prostate or has spread. Once the stage of prostate cancer is established, the urologist will discuss the treatment strategy with the patient.<br \/>80% of cancers are diagnosed while still confined to the prostate. The major prognostic factor for this cancer is the stage at diagnosis. The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is not reliable enough to diagnose cancer on its own, but an elevated level may prompt further examination (such as a digital rectal exam), which can lead to a definitive diagnosis. This may also follow surgical treatment of a prostate adenoma.*<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6801e9f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6801e9f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b4d334 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b4d334\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>*Institut National du Cancer (the French National Cancer Institute) &#8211; Panorama des Cancers en France (Overview of Cancers in France), 2024<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75250cf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"75250cf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e13d675 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e13d675\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4be135 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e4be135\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1275787 hp-title-underline-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1275787\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prostate cancer tests<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77a1fa0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"77a1fa0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ba691f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9ba691f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c22876 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c22876\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>PSA: measured by a simple blood test<\/strong><\/h3><p>In addition to producing seminal fluid, the prostate secretes a substance called prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is a substance specific to the prostate that circulates within the prostate and the bloodstream. PSA is a tumor marker used at all stages of prostate cancer treatment. However, PSA is not specific to prostate cancer, as it can also increase in other prostate conditions: benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate inflammation and infection. Therefore, PSA is only one step in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and must be complemented by other examinations.
