Today in Russia, more than half of cases of prostate cancer detected at a stage when the administration of treatment almost ineffective.

The most important reason for screening for prostate cancer is the fact that at the early stages of prostate cancer clinical symptoms are absent. This leads to the fact that the vast majority of men go to the doctor only when the various manifestations of the disease. In this regard, the greatest value in the timely diagnosis of prostate cancer is preventive examinations.

In developed countries, the use of these preventive examinations led to the identification of early and curable forms of the disease, thus reducing mortality from prostate cancer more than 3 times.

Determination Of PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
Test to determine the level of tumor marker of prostate cancer - PSA (prostate specific antigen) can in most cases suspected prostate cancer at a stage of asymptomatic illness. Therefore, determining the level of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is the most important indicator than the estimate of clinical manifestations of disease. In this regard, determining the level of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) should be regular preventive study of men aged 45 to 75 years.

Digital Rectal Examination Of Prostate
Furthermore, it is important to remember that the normal level of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) does not exclude the presence of prostate cancer.
Therefore, annual preventive care should also include a digital rectal examination (assessment of the prostate finger introduced into the rectum).

Transrectal Ultrasound Of The Prostate (TRUS)
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) - is an ultrasound of the prostate, using a special transrectal ultrasound probe, which is introduced into the rectum studied. With this introduction sensor is located in close proximity to the prostate and is separated from it only the wall of the rectum.

Fundamentals advantage of transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS) is an opportunity to obtain a clear image of the prostate, with a detailed description of its various departments, which allows a well to view this body. Thus, transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS) is the most accurate method for prostate ultrasound studies in detection of prostate cancer at an early stage of development.

Biopsy Prostate
Increased PSA and the presence of dense areas in the prostate gland (according to digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasound - TRUS) is an indication to perform biopsy of the prostate.

After 75 years of conducting screening studies aimed at identifying prostate cancer unsuitable, due to the slow growth of prostate cancer and a high frequency of complications of surgical and radiation therapy for patients in this age group. In addition, many men do not survive to lethal stage prostate cancer because of death from other concomitant diseases.
