The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system and its function is to add some secretions that make up semen. It is a small chestnut-shaped organ that is located just below the bladder in front of the rectum and surrounds the urethra like a doughnut.
This refers to the uncontrolled malignant growth of cells in the prostate gland and the risk of prostate cancer increases with age and tends to occur in men over 50. Prostate cancer is the second most lethal cancer in men and accounts for one of one in ten of all cancer deaths in men in developing countries.
Prostate cancer can range from being a very slow growing tumor which causes very little trouble, to a fast growing, aggressive, life threatening tumor.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF PROSTATE CANCER IS VERY IMPORTANT AS MOST MEN CAN BE TREATED SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT HARMING SEXUAL FUNCTIONING.

The first step toward diagnosing prostate disease include a digital examination by your medical practitioner and a blood PSA test. A PSA test should be part of the annual physical checkup of all men over the age of 50.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is produced exclusively by the prostate gland. The normal total PSA concentration in human serum or whole blood is 0.1 -2.6 ng/ml. Studies have suggested that an elevated level of PSA is the most useful tumor marker in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. There are however other factors that can cause elevated PSA levels and for more information please click here.

Two colored lines appear in the window under the "T" (test) and the "C" (control) marks. The intensity of the T line may be darker than the intensity of the control ("C") line. Should the line appear under the "T" mark it means that your PSA level is high. Even a light colored line under the "T" mark should be considered as a positive result.
ANY POSITIVE RESULT must immediately be brought to the attention of your medical practitioner.
Only one colored line will appear under the "C" (control) mark. This means that your PSA level is normal.
If a line does NOT appear under the "C" (control) mark - even if a line appears under the "T" (test) mark - the test must be taken as invalid - and the test should be repeated.
