Should i be concerned about low grade prostate cancer inspite of having enlarged prostate?
Patient: I had large bladder stone removed a few weeks ago. I also had an enlarged prostate that was only noticeable inside my bladder. My doctor did biopsy and the resulte show I have a very low grade of prostate cancer. What should I do. My doctor says its nothing to be concern about right now as my spa test was normal Doctor: Low grade prostate cancer with low serum PSA levels can be observed.You need to have regular serum PSA levels and digital rectal examinations for assessment of prostate. If PSA levels rise or findings of prostate change on examination,a re-biopsy will be required to see if tumor has progressed in grade. Till then close surveillance is an option.
