At La Pradera International Health Center, our integrative oncology team provides comprehensive treatment programs for international patients with prostate cancer.

Understanding Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate, a small gland that produces seminal fluid. Understanding the type and aggressiveness of the cancer is essential for treatment planning.

Adenocarcinoma is the most common type

Gleason score indicates aggressiveness (6–10 scale)

PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels help monitor disease

Some prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not need immediate treatment

Signs and Symptoms

Early-stage prostate cancer often has no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:

Difficulty urinating or reduced urine flow

Frequent urination, especially at night

Blood in urine or semen

Pelvic discomfort or bone pain (in advanced cases)

Erectile dysfunction

Diagnosis and Staging

Diagnosis involves PSA testing, biopsy, and imaging to determine the stage and aggressiveness.

PSA blood test

Digital rectal examination

Prostate biopsy with Gleason scoring

MRI or CT scan for staging

Bone scan if metastasis is suspected
