What is Prostate Cancer?

The prostate is a male-specific gland located just below the bladder, surrounding the urethra. When the cells within the prostate undergo genetic changes and begin to grow uncontrollably, they can form a malignant tumor known as prostate cancer.
As the disease progresses, the cancerous cells may invade surrounding tissues or spread to the lymph nodes, bones, or other organs, affecting urination, the skeletal system, and overall health.

6 Common Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

1️⃣ Weak urine flow
2️⃣ Difficulty in starting urination
3️⃣ Frequent urination
4️⃣ Frequent nighttime urination (nocturia)
5️⃣ Sudden or urgent need to urinate
6️⃣ Persistent pain in the lower back, pelvis, hips, or thighs

Prostate cancer often has no obvious symptoms in its early stages, which is why many men are diagnosed only when the disease has advanced.
Through a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test, prostate health abnormalities can be detected even before any clinical symptoms appear.
Early detection enables doctors to identify potential cancer risks, recommend timely assessment or treatment, and greatly improve the chances of cure and long-term survival.

According to the Hong Kong Cancer Online Resource Centre, men diagnosed in the early stages (Stage I – III) have a five-year survival rate exceeding 97%.

Who Is at Higher Risk of Prostate Cancer?

Based on local and international data, the main risk factors include:

• Age: Risk increases significantly after 50 years old. The median age of diagnosis in Hong Kong is 71. (Source: South China Morning Post)
• Family history: Men with a father or brother diagnosed with prostate cancer are at higher risk.
• Diet and lifestyle: High-fat diets, obesity, and lack of physical activity may increase risk.

Prostate Cancer Situation and Risks in Hong Kong

New Cases:
In 2023, Hong Kong recorded 3,031 new prostate cancer cases, making it the 4th most common cancer among men.
The crude incidence rate was 88.2 cases per 100,000 males.

Mortality:
In 2023, 522 men died from prostate cancer, accounting for 6.1% of all male cancer deaths.

Risk Factors:
The risk increases with age, and having a family history also raises the likelihood of developing prostate cancer.

Prevention Tips

Although there is no guaranteed way to prevent prostate cancer, several lifestyle measures may help reduce the risk:

• Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly
• Eat a balanced diet — limit red meat, fatty foods, and processed foods; increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes
• Quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake
• Men ≥ 50 or those with family risk factors should discuss screening with their doctor
• Stay alert to urinary or bone-related symptoms and seek early assessment

Why Choose PSA Free & Total Ratio Test?

• Non-invasive and quick: Simple blood test; fasting not required.
• Improved risk accuracy: The PSA Free & Total Ratio Test helps differentiate between benign prostatic enlargement and cancer risk — particularly valuable when total PSA levels fall in the “gray zone”.
• Trend monitoring: Regular testing provides valuable information for tracking prostate health changes over time.

Note: PSA levels can be influenced by benign enlargement, inflammation, recent ejaculation, or vigorous exercise (e.g., cycling). A high PSA result does not necessarily mean cancer — clinical and imaging correlation by doctors is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Do I need to fast before the test?
A: No fasting is required.

Q2: Does a high PSA level mean I have prostate cancer?
A: Not necessarily. Benign prostate enlargement or inflammation may also elevate PSA. Doctors will interpret results based on your age, symptoms, and clinical context.

Q3: How often should I take the test?
A: It depends on age, personal risk, and previous PSA results. Your healthcare provider will recommend the appropriate follow-up interval — the key is monitoring trends.

Q4: If I have frequent urination or weak urine flow, should I take the Basic or Advanced test?
A: If you experience urinary symptoms, the Advanced Prostate Screening (with prostate & bladder ultrasound) is recommended for more comprehensive evaluation of prostate size and structure.
