PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer

Introduction

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that develops, and usually is made of cloth of the prostate gland; and tends to metastasize. (Bill 2005)Statistics shows that prostate cancer occurs in one in seven men over 50 years. (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 2003)

Research Design

The research is based on secondary data collection, which is a research describing information gathered through literature, publications, broadcast media, and other non-human sources.

Literature Search

In the recent study, examiners scrutinized the performance of PSA as an indication for prostate cancer, chiefly aggressive tumor. (Klein 2007)Amid men consuming dutasteride, the researchers establish that every ensuing increase in PSA stages during the learning were more likely to be associated with aggressive, (American Cancer Society 2006) high-grade tumors, compared with an increase in PSA points in men on panacea. (Scher 2005)

Distinguishingly, PSA levels are anticipated to decline or else remained steady in men using dutasteride, which were either inferior tumors or not cancer at all. (Robbins 2007

Problem statement

Haitian-American men have a high incidence of morbidity and mortality related to prostate cancer, (Brada 2007) yet they have a very low rate of participation in screening activities specifically for this disease. (Punglia 2003) It is possible that individuals who do not perceive themselves as having a personal risk of disease are unlikely to adhere to screening for the disease or obtain education concerning the disease. (National Institutes of Health 2007) Based on their limited opportunity to have witnessed prostate cancer among other men of like ethnicity, family, or friends,) Haitian-American men may not be cognizant of their personal susceptibility. (D'Amico 2007)
