A word about prostate, kidney and bladder cancers

Cancer can grow in any part of the body. The diagnosis, treatment and outcome of the treatments for the cancer is dependent upon many factors including in which organ the cancer arose, how far advanced the cancer is, and its susceptibility to chemotherapies. Kidney and bladder cancers are often heralded by blood in the urine. A simple laboratory test such as the PSA (prostate specific antigen) can indicate a prostate cancer that has no symptoms. Bladder cancers frequently come to light when patients have:

	blood in the urine
	an irritable bladder
	frequency of urination
	burning sensation during urination
	chronic urinary tract infections

Cancer treatment many include a combination of the following:

Surgery
Medications
X-ray therapy
Surgical Alternatives
