Prostate Cancer
Symptoms and Signs of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer usually progresses slowly and rarely causes symptoms until advanced. In advanced disease, hematuria and symptoms of Obstructive Uropathy (eg, straining, hesitancy, weak or intermittent urine stream, a sense of incomplete emptying, terminal dribbling) or ureteral obstruction (eg, renal colic, flank pain, renal dysfunction) may appear. Bone pain, pathologic fractures, or spinal cord compression may result from osteoblastic metastases to bone (commonly pelvis, ribs, vertebral bodies).
