Continuous advances have provided a new understanding on Metastatic Prostate Cancer Survival Rate. The problem with majority of sufferers are they are unaware of signs associated with the disease. Others also seem to delay seeing a healthcare professional thinking the early symptoms are nothing serious. Due to its slow progression, the sooner patients get into treatment, the bigger their chance to survive.

How Prostate cancer is diagnosed

Metastatic Prostate Cancer Survival Rate is found to be no more than 28-percent. This is due to the cells that have been spread to lymph nodes, bones and other organs. If your Prostate-Specific Antigen test suggests you may have developed prostate cancer, biopsy will take place to confirm. Other that PSA test, digital rectal exam or DRE may also be used as a pointer.

The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Survival Rate procedure typically takes 10-minutes and the process is fairly simple. Your healthcare professional will remove prostate tissue by inserting a hollow needle through your rectum’s wall. These dozens of tiny samples will then be handed out to a pathologist. If cancer cell is found, it will then be graded using Gleason Scoring

I think what he meant to say is that "on average" the 5 year survival percentage of those detected with MPC is 28%. This is just the average. Some live longer, others less.

I did not read the article, but the stats are definitely wrong. STAMPEDE published updated results and the median is approx 4.5yrs for "high volume" aggressive disease, and "not reached" for others. The stats you mentioned are outdated.

Maybe, the stats in the article posted by imamhadipur are wrong, maybe they are right. I merely tried to explain what the 28% meant to joancarles.

Soooo, chill :-)

Besides, my name is "lastfewdays", not yours :-)
