cancer
No guy want’s to get a prostate exam but it’s worth it
Check up once a year
11. AGE IS A FACTOR
50 years old is the average age when you should start getting
checked for prostate cancer
If you wait....
But it’s safe to get it checked in your 40’s

Very slow growing
Sometimes no symptoms
Will be treated with a
light session of radiation

20. STAGE II
Needs to be treated
Will spread through the
body
PSA levels might be a
little high
Likely to have minimum
“Prostate Cancer Stage II” Foxchase.com
but some symptoms
21. STAGE III

outside of the prostate
Many symptoms at this
point in the cancer
PSA level way above
normal
Chemotherapy

25. HORMONE THERAPY
Removes the cancer hormones in the body
Also reduces the PSA Level
Blocks the hormones from the blood stream

26. CHEMOTHERAPY
Using drugs to kill the cancer cells
Stop’s them from dividing into more cancer cells
Two ways of getting chemo.
27. PROSTATE REMOVAL

if your in the early first stage of the cancer
Because if you are in the higher stages it will be a lot of
trouble taking it out

the radiation beam hits you
Hormone Therapy - There’s no really bad side effect of
hormone therapy, just not feeling as great as usual

very bad sickness

have “jumpers” witch is when the cancer jumps from the
prostate while being taken out to other organ or bones.

prostate cancer
40. UNDERSTAND THE
MEANING OF CANCER
Cancer- The disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a
part of the body.
But no one thinks of it as that
People think, loved ones and rough times.
41. DO YOU KNOW ANYONE
WITH PROSTATE
CANCER
This includes
Dad
Brother
Uncle
Friend
Grandpa
42. CLASS ACTIVITY

cancer, write this on the ribbon
43. APPLICATION

Stage II prostate cancer needs to be treated right away, if not will spread through the body the PSA levels might be a little high then normal something that should be look at, but if found earlier enough there is nothing to worry about you just get treatments\n
Stage III prostate cancer is dangerous this means is spread outside the prostate glad, and will be very noticeable with symptoms also will make the PSA level way above the normal, this will be treated with chemotherapy \n
