The urologists at the Vattikuti Urology Institute specialize in the world's most advanced treatments of prostate cancer including prostate cancer metastasis.
Prostate cancer is the cancerous growth of the cells within the prostate. It usually grows slowly over many years. However, in more advanced stages, the growth usually accelerates.
Cancer staging describes how much and where the cancer is located. The more cancer there is in the body, the more likely it is to spread and less likely that treatments will work. Therefore, the more advanced stages can affect long-term results and survival.
In the prostate, the male hormone testosterone is converted into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT stimulates the growth of the cancer cells. As the cancer grows, it can spread (metastasize) outside of the prostate -- usually into the surrounding lymph nodes and bones.
