Is prostate cancer, related with enlarged prostate and calcifications?
Patient: Im 62 years of a age, and on a routine lab exam PSA level was 6.5, Digital rectal exam was normal, echography shows enlarged prostate with calcifications and all the rest was normal.. FREE PSA/TOTAL PSA was about 22.5 and according to the lab this result is normal, urine analysis shows RBC levels of 20 - 22 and WBC 2, can we know from these results if it s a gland hypertrophy or it s prostate cancer? thank you Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry much about cancer. As calcification is 100% benign. It is not at all seen in malignancy.  So you should not worry much about cancer.  Your other lab reports are also normal for cancer. You are having BPH (benign prostatic enlargement) which is causing red blood cells in urine.So better to consult urosurgeon and get done removal of prostate.  This will cure rbc in urine. And no need to worry about cancer.
