Prostate tumors are generally malignant diseases such as prostate cancer and prostate sarcoma.
The prostate gland can undergo a variety of lesions, and there are three common clinical conditions, prostatitis, which occurs in young adults, and benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, which occurs in middle-aged and older adults.
The vast majority of prostate tumors are malignant, including prostate cancer and prostate sarcoma. The two diseases have different age groups of onset, as evidenced by:
- Patients with prostate cancer are mainly older men and may have symptoms such as hematuria and difficulty urinating;
- Prostate sarcoma occurs in young people, with a low incidence and difficulty urinating as the first symptom. This disease is extremely malignant, with extremely rapid disease progression and a very poor prognosis.
So, what we usually refer to as prostate tumor is prostate cancer, but of course, it also includes rare diseases such as prostate sarcoma, which is generally referred to by doctors as the above two types of malignant tumors.
