There are no signs you can look for. They are basically the same as BPH and it is not possible for the patient to distinguish between cancer and normal aging until it is very advanced.. I don’t understand the problem. It is simple to diagnose – they just do a biopsy.

Prostate cancer-- symptoms:- * Urinary hesitancy (delayed or slowed start of urinary stream) * Urinary dribbling, especially immediately after urinating * Urinary retention * Pain with urination * Pain with ejaculation * Lower back pain * Pain with bowel movement Other symptoms that may occur with this disease: * Excessive urination at night * Urinary leakage (incontinence) * Bone pain or tenderness * Blood in the urine (hematuria) * Abdominal pain * Low red blood cell count (anemia) * Unintentional weight loss * Lethargy Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein in the cytoplasm of prostatic epithelial cells. It can be detected in the blood of all adult men. The PSA level is increased in men with prostate cancer but can also be increased somewhat in other disorders of the prostate. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the PSA test for annual screening of prostate cancer in men of age 50 and older. PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter) are considered to be suspicious and should be followed by rectal ultrasound imaging and, if indicated, prostate biopsy. PSA is false positive-prone (7 out of 10 men in this category will still not have prostate cancer) and false negative-prone (2.5 out of 10 men with prostate cancer have no elevation in PSA). Recent reports indicate that refraining from ejaculation 24 hours or more prior to testing will improve test accuracy.
