Diagnosing Your Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ found only in men. Although the prostate is made up of several cell types, almost all prostate cancers develop in the glandular cells. Cancer of gland cells is known as adenocarcinoma.
Most men will not experience any symptoms of prostate cancer if it is caught early. However, some men do, and these symptoms may include the following:
- A need to urinate frequently, especially at night
- Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine
- Weak or interrupted flow of urine
- Painful or burning urination
- Difficulty in having an erection
- Painful ejaculation
- Blood in urine or semen
- Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs
Men who experience any of these symptoms should speak to their doctor.
These are some of the tests that may be used to confirm a diagnosis:
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Tests: a blood test is used to assess the level of PSA in the blood. A higher-than-normal level of PSA might indicate a problem with the prostate, including cancer.
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): a physician inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormalities of the prostate.
An abnormal age-adjusted prostate specific antigen (PSA) test or abnormal digital rectal (DRE) exam is an indication of prostate cancer, but does not mean cancer is present. Abnormal findings should be followed by a biopsy of the prostate cells to determine whether they are in fact cancerous.
Biopsy: a biopsy is a procedure in which a sample of tissue is taken from the prostate and then viewed under a microscope to check for abnormalities.
Prostate Health Index (phi): still being studied, phi is a new, more precise blood test that better distinguishes an aggressive cancer from a low-risk cancer.

Your Treatment Options
When it comes to choosing a treatment for prostate cancer, each patient's situation is unique.
That's why it is important to make an informed decision about the best treatment with your healthcare team.
Older patients with health problems and those with slow-growing cancers often treat prostate cancer as a chronic or long-term disease and take a disease management approach with just watchful waiting.
Sometimes combinations of therapies like radiation therapy following surgery, or external radiation following brachytherapy implants is the best way to go.
Learn how we determine a treatment plan for our patients with prostate cancer.
Surgical options:
- Radical Perineal Prostatectomy
- Robotic Prostatectomy
- Open Retropubic Prostatectomy
Radiation therapy options:
- Brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy)
- External beam radiation therapy
- Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
- Intensity modulated radiation therapy
- Proton beam therapy available at Emory Proton Therapy Center.
Hormone therapy (also called androgen deprivation therapy) may be used if surgery or radiation is not an option. Chemotherapy is sometimes considered if prostate cancer has spread outside the prostate gland and hormone therapy is no longer effective.
Clinical Trials
Consider talking with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial at Winship. Through these trials, you may have access to treatments for prostate cancer that are not widely available.
Supportive Oncology and Urology Care
In addition to delivering the highest quality medical care, we recognize the importance of the psychological and emotional aspects of living with a cancer diagnosis and of dealing with treatment. Our supportive oncology team address these issues in a timely manner with additional support from counselors, nurse navigators, dietitians and social service professionals.
Additionally we recognize that urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction can be important factors in prostate cancer survivorship and our team of urology experts offer multiple options to help you manage these conditions. To request an appointment, contact our urology team at (404) 778-4898.
Sexual Recovery
Some men may experience sexual changes after treatment for prostate cancer. Winship experts worked with colleagues from other institutions to create an online, tailored interactive program to support men and their partners on their journey toward sexual recovery after prostate cancer treatment. Visit the Movember Foundation's Sexual Recovery Program website to learn more.
