Of 302,304 urologic cancers diagnosed each year, 67% were found in the prostate, 19% in the urinary bladder, 13% in the kidney or renal pelvis, and 3% in the testis. Incidence Male urologic cancer is any cancer that starts in men’s reproductive or urinary tract organs. The four most common sites where cancer is found are the prostate, urinary bladder, kidney or renal pelvis, and testis. Other sites include the penis, ureter, and urethra. Figure 1.

Results: The median age was 30 years (range 2 – 50). A majority of tumors (67%) were seminomas. 26 (51%) patients were diagnosed as stage I, 14 (33%) and 7 (16%) as stage II and III, respectively. In the seminoma group, 18 patients (62%) were diagnosed with stage I, 9 (31%) with stage II and 2 (7%) with stage III.

Screening is testing to find cancer in people before they have symptoms. For some types of cancer, screening can help find cancers at an early stage, when they are likely to be easier to treat. Prostate cancer can often be found early by testing for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in a man’s blood. Another way to find prostate cancer is the digital rectal exam (DRE). For a DRE, the doctor puts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to feel the prostate gland. These tests and the actual process of screening are described in more detail in Screening Tests for Prostate Cancer. If the results of either of these tests is abnormal, further testing (such as a prostate biopsy) is often done to see if a man has cancer.

  • What Is Prostate Cancer?
    8/28/2018 Urology Care Foundation - What is Prostate Cancer? What is Prostate Cancer? Symptoms What Are the Symptoms of Prostate Cancer? In its early stages, prostate cancer often has no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can be like those of an enlarged prostate or BPH. Prostate cancer can also cause symptoms unrelated to BPH. If you have urinary problems, talk with your healthcare provider about them. Symptoms of prostate cancer can be: Dull pain in the lower pelvic area Frequent urinating Trouble urinating, pain, burning, or weak urine flow Blood in the urine (Hematuria) Painful ejaculation Pain in the lower back, hips or upper thighs Loss of appetite Loss of weight Bone pain Updated August 2018 Causes What Causes Prostate Cancer? No one knows why or how prostate cancer starts. Autopsy studies show 1 in 3 men over the age of 50 have some cancer cells in the prostate. Eight out of ten "autopsy cancers" found are small, with tumors that are not harmful. Even though there is no known reason for prostate cancer, there are many risks associated with the disease. What Are The Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer? Age As men age, their risk of getting prostate cancer goes up. It is rarely found in men younger than age 40. Damage to the genetic material (DNA) of prostate cells is more likely for men over the age of 55. Damaged or abnormal prostate cells can begin to grow out of control and form tumors. Age is a well-known risk factor for prostate cancer. But, smoking and being overweight are more closely linked with dying from prostate cancer.

On June 25, 1998, Public Act 90-599 established the Illinois Prostate and Testicular Cancer Program, and required the Illinois Department of Public Health (Department), subject to appropriation or other available funding, to promote awareness and early detection of prostate and testicular cancer. On July 13, 1999, Public Act 91-0109 required the Department to establish a Prostate Cancer Screening Program and to adopt rules to implement the program. In addition, the Department received an appropriation of $300,000 “for all expenses associated with the Prostate Cancer Awareness and Screening Program.” The fiscal year 2009 appropriation was $297,000.
