Prostate Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Going for a check-up is especially recommended for men from a certain age, since it makes it possible to detect prostate alterations in time, including prostate cancer.
This condition originates when the cells of the prostate, a gland of the male reproductive system, grow abnormally.
Possible signs: In the early stages it may cause no symptoms; over time it could be associated with changes when urinating, although these also appear in benign conditions.
Who treats it? Urology performs the initial evaluation and follow-up, while oncology takes part in its management when confirmed. Discussing your history and doubts with a professional is the best way to define which check-ups are right for you.
