Tragically, it ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Canadian men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Men&#8217;s Health and Prostate Cancer: A Growing Concern for Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017, the Canadian Cancer Society projected 21,600 new prostate cancer diagnoses and 4,000 related deaths. This prevalence is partly due to increased life expectancy, as 80% of cases occur in men 65 and older. Though the exact cause remains elusive, significant scientific strides have been made in understanding the genetic factors at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Men&#8217;s Health and Prostate Cancer: Potential Causes and Risk Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers note that, in many instances, prostate cancer can be caused by alterations in the normal prostate cell\u2019s DNA. Some changes are inherited genetically, passed on from one generation to the next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with many cancers, the genetic factor is not to be underestimated. In fact, a man is twice as likely to have prostate cancer if his brother has\/had it. Those that have Lynch syndrome, a hereditary disorder caused by genetic changes, also are at higher risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these changes, known as acquired mutations, may occur during the course of one\u2019s life. One potential source for these acquired mutations is diet, as some studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency may be a predictor of aggressive prostate cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exposure to certain chemicals may be another source of acquired mutations. A recent study found that U.S. veterans exposed to Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant used during the Vietnam War, had a significantly increased (48% higher) risk of development versus veterans who had not been exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms of Prostate Cancer in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The risk of developing prostate cancer increases once men reach the age of 50. However, one of the more challenging aspects of prostate cancer is that symptoms often do not manifest until later stages of development, since it tends to grow slowly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Men&#8217;s Health and Common Symptoms of Prostate Cancer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frequent urination (especially urges at night)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty urinating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bladder control difficulty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood in the urine and\/or semen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling in the legs or pelvis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic bone pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erectile dysfunction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As some men may have an \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d attitude toward medical issues, it is vital that they discuss testing with a physician as close to the age of 50 as possible \u2013 especially if they\u2019ve experienced any of the symptoms listed above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screening is often done either by testing for prostate-specific antigen levels (PSA) levels in the blood, or by a digital rectal exam (DRE). If the results come back positive, the doctor may wish to test further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although screening can help detect prostate cancer, it does not always help gauge the severity or threat level. Additionally, test results may be false-positive (signifying that a man does have cancer when he does not), or false-negatives (signifying that he does have cancer when he does not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Men&#8217;s Health and Senior Cancer Treatment Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, doctors may not have a full understanding of how threatening a man\u2019s prostate cancer may be \u2013 which can make it difficult to recommend treatment. Often times, these treatments \u2013 done through surgery and\/or radiation \u2013 can negatively affect various aspects of normal living, especially for older men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many health communities tend to agree that screening (and potentially treatment) for older men may not be greatly beneficial since they are more likely to die from other conditions, should they exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is not to say that prostate cancer does not pose a threat. While treatment may potentially be more harmful than the cancer itself, it\u2019s not to be taken lightly. If your aging loved one is concerned about his prostate and unsure about screening, it\u2019s important to begin the discussion with his doctor and to see what the best course of action is, given factors such as age and health. Screening\/treatment should always be mutually agreed upon by both your loved one and his doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton Can Help<\/strong> <strong>with Men&#8217;s Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton, our caregivers can help provide a daily routine for your loved one that promotes good health and independent living.
