There are three main “brothers” in the prostate disease family – prostatitis, prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Compared to prostate enlargement and prostate cancer, prostatitis is more likely to develop in young men, and Wang’s question is also a special concern for many young patients who have had prostatitis. So let’s talk about whether prostatitis and prostate enlargement can cause prostate cancer or not? 1, prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer between the common points and similarities (1) prostatitis: prostate local inflammation, preferred age: young adults, benign and malignant: benign, the difficulty of treatment: easy. (2) Prostatic hyperplasia: an increase in the number of cells in the prostate gland, age of prevalence: middle-aged and old people, benign and malignant: benign, treatment difficulty: easy. (3) prostate cancer: the malignant proliferation of prostate cells, the prevalence of age: the elderly, benign and malignant: malignant, treatment difficulty: difficult. 2, prostatitis will cause prostate hyperplasia and then develop into prostate cancer? First of all, I would like to make it clear that so far there is no direct evidence that prostatitis can cause cancer, and there is no evidence that prostate hyperplasia can cause cancer. Prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer are three completely different diseases. In fact, some cancers, such as liver cancer, can indeed be caused by hepatitis, but we have not found the same evidence in prostate disease. To make an analogy, hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer seem to be “grandchildren”: hepatitis can cause cirrhosis, and cirrhosis will eventually lead to liver cancer, that is to say, these three diseases have a generational difference, is the relationship between the old son and the son; however, prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer, it is ” brother three”, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, prostate cancer, is a completely different nature. The three brothers, prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, prostate cancer, prostate cancer is the oldest age, these three diseases only age difference, there is no difference in generation, is the relationship between brother and brother, there is no “prostatitis born prostate cancer” situation. Of course, there are some similarities between prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer, for example, both can have difficulty urinating, both can have elevated serum PSA, both are caused by the proliferation of prostate cells, and both are sensitive to androgen stimulation. Therefore, in the diagnosis, our doctors need to identify these two diseases, but patients and friends do not have to worry about prostate hyperplasia will evolve into prostate cancer, just as we have a dog, the dog will not become a wolf, the same way, prostate hyperplasia is more serious, will not become prostate cancer.
