పౌరుష గ్రంథి: కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

పంక్తి 85:
శస్త్రచికిత్సలో ఈ గ్రంధిని తొలగించడం ప్రసేకం ద్వారా ఎండోస్కోప్ ద్వారా సుళువుగా చేయవచ్చును. దీనిని transurethral resection of the prostate TURP అంటారు. ఇందులో ప్రసేకం ద్వారా చిన్న పరికరాన్ని పంపి మూత్రానికి అడ్డం కలిగిస్తున్న భాగాన్ని తొలగిస్తారు. అయితే ఇందులో మధ్యభాగాన్ని మాత్రమే తొలగిస్తారు.

[[Prostate cancer]] is one of the most common [[cancer]]s affecting older men in [[developed countries]] and a significant cause of [[death]] for elderly men (estimated by some specialists at 3%). Despite this, the American Cancer Society's position regarding early detection is "Research has not yet proven that the potential benefits of testing outweigh the harms of testing and treatment. The American Cancer Society believes that men should not be tested without learning about what we know and don’t know about the risks and possible benefits of testing and treatment. Starting at age 50, (45 if African American or brother or father suffered from condition before age 65) talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of testing so you can decide if testing is the right choice for you."<ref>http://www.cancer.org/Healthy/FindCancerEarly/CancerScreeningGuidelines/american-cancer-society-guidelines-for-the-early-detection-of-cancer American Cancer Society American Cancer Society Guidelines for the early detection of cancer Cited: September 2011</ref>
 
If checks are performed, they can be in the form of a physical [[rectal exam]], measurement of [[prostate specific antigen]] (PSA) level in the blood, or checking for the presence of the protein [[EN2 (gene)|Engrailed-2]] (EN2) in the urine.
 
Co-researchers Hardev Pandha and Richard Morgan published their findings regarding checking for [[EN2 (gene)|EN2]] in urine in the 1 March 2011 issue of the journal [[Clinical Cancer Research]].<ref>Engrailed-2 (EN2): A Tumor Specific Urinary Biomarker for the Early Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/17/5/1090.abstract</ref> A laboratory test currently identifies EN2 in urine, and a home test kit is envisioned similar to a home pregnancy test strip. According to Morgan, "We are preparing several large studies in the UK and in the US and although the EN2 test is not yet available, several companies have expressed interest in taking it forward." <ref>http://caerleonpharmacy.cambrianalliance.co.uk/index.php?option=com_news&view=news&layout=archive&id=543 New prostate cancer twice as effective as a PSA test could be available by next year.
