This type of cancer occurs in men’s prostate, according to Dr Chris Wambui prostate is a small walnut- shaped gland that provides semen fluid that nourishes sperms, Dr also states that cell mutation in the prostate with abnormal cell division is are sult of this type of cancer and that when not detected early it can cause serious harm and good prognosis is always achieved when it’s detected early as early treatment is commenced and is achieved to reduce the adverse effect it can cause
Signs and symptoms

Causes of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer comes about as are salt of a normal process of cell mutation in the prostate but this time it occurs that their is rapid cell division during this process which is abnormal and Research done by Dr Chris Wambui states this abnormal cell division causes accumulation of abnormal cells that forms a tumour that grows and affects the next tissue and spread to other parts of the body

- Race, that prostate cancer is most common in black race compared to the whites counterparts.
- Family history of prostate or breast cancer disposes one to prostate cancer.
- Obesity, that excess weight gain accumulates a lot of fats which may result to abnormal cell growth in the prostate.
Prostate cancer screening
Dr Chris Wambui states that with prostate cancer screening a digital rectal exam is done by a medical doctor who inserts a lubricated finger into rectum and adjacent to rectum their may indications of growth which is then said to be prostate cancer if any and also Dr Chris states that their is a prostate specific antigen which shows normal results when low and abnormal when high
Stages of prostate cancer
Dr Chris Wambui comes up with stages of prostate cancer as follows:
- Stage1, in this stage cancer is still confined in the prostate area
- Stage2 In this stage cancer involves both sides of the prostate

- Stage4 in this stage prostate cancer grows to invade other organs such as bladder
Diagnosis of prostate cancer
Through research done at herbal health link Natural clinic by Dr Chris Wambui diagnosis of prostate cancer involves taking a sample from prostate gland in a procedure known as prostate biopsy it determines the aggression of the prostate cancer. Dr Chris also states that Gleason score which is scored from 1-10 determines the extent of the prostate cancer where from one it shows little extent to ten which is a big vast extent of the prostate cancer.
Treatment of prostate cancer
- Dr Chris Wambui states that radiation is done in a two-way process where in the 1st one which is known as external beam radiation where radiation beam is passed on the skin over the prostate the 2nd one is Branch therapy where in low dose is administered inside prostate gland and it gives treatment in low doses for a long period of time
- Hormone therapy where Dr Chris states that luteinizing home agonist blocks body from producing oilstone hormone which may bring more harm to cancerous prostate gland
- Administration of medications which are anti-androgens in nature this medication blocks oilstone hormone to reach cancer cells
- Chemotherapy is also administered to kill cancer cells in the prostate glands
Complications
Dr Chris Wambui states several complications resulting from prostate cancer and here he explains some of the complications
- Metastasis whereby cancer spreads from the prostate to other organs eg bladder, kidneys
- Urine incontinence whereby due to the growth in the prostate gland there is urine flow interference during urination
- Erectile dysfunction as there is pain and growth in the prostate gland which interferes with the normal process of erection in this case patient is advised to seek medical attention to Urologist who can refer him to oncologist for further management
Prevention and management
