Possible Signs of Prostate Cancer:
Weak or interrupted flow of urine
Frequent urination
Trouble urinating
Pain or burning during urination

Painful ejaculation
¨ The prostate is a

controls the flow of
urine and semen.
¨ Prostate cancer is a
leading cause of
cancer death among
American men, second
only to lung cancer.

4. Diagnosing Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer can be diagnosed by:
¨ Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) – examination of
the rectum.
¨ Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test –
measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA
may be found in an increased amount in the
blood of men with prostate cancer.
¨ Transrectal Ultrasound – provides a picture of
the prostate for the doctor to analyze.
¨ Gleason Score – determines how likely
prostate cancer is to spread.

5. The TNM Staging System
A staging system describes how far a cancer has spread.
The most widely used staging system for prostate cancer is
the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM
system.
The TNM system for prostate cancer is based on 5 key
pieces of information:
¤ The extent of the primary tumor (T category)
¤ Whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes (N
category)
¤ The absence or presence of distant metastasis (M category)
¤ The PSA level at the time of diagnosis
¤ The Gleason Score, based on the prostate biopsy (or surgery)

¨ Prior to stereotactic body radiation therapy with CyberKnife, small
tissue markers known as fiducials are implanted in the prostate to
help pinpoint the tumor location throughout each treatment.
¨ About a week later, patients are fitted with a custom body mold of
soft material that they lie on during treatments. The fitting process is
painless.
¨ This treatment process
includes
¤ Consultation appointment
¤ Pretreatment procedures
¤ CyberKnife treatment
¤ Follow-up
