Prostatakreft

Sist oppdatert: Sist revidert:
Sist revidert av:
Definisjon:
Som regel adenokarsinom. Økt risiko for tilstanden ved arvelig faktor og ved høy alder
Forekomst:
Den hyppigste kreftformen blant menn. Insidensen er høy, med 4850 nye tilfeller i Norge i 2018. Dette året døde 926 personer av sykdommen i Norge
Symptomer:
Kan mangle helt. Etter hvert ofte vannlatingsplager, men ingen sikker sammenheng mellom nedre urinveissymptomer (LUTS) og behandlingstrengende prostatakreft 
Funn:
I tidlig fase ofte fravær av kliniske funn. Etter hvert kan palpasjon hos noen avdekke knuter eller uregelmessigheter i prostatas overflate
Diagnostikk:
PSA-test ved klinisk mistanke. PSA-screening kun etter å drøfte fordeler og ulemper nøye. Prostatabiopsi er nødvendig for diagnosen, men utredning med mpMR innenfor pakkeforløp bør tas før biopsering ved klinisk mistanke
Behandling:
Pasient- og tumorspesifikke forhold avgjør behovet for videre behandling. Behandlingsalternativene strekker seg fra aktiv overvåkning til kurativ kirurgisk og/eller strålebehandling, hormonbehandling, symptomstyrt behandling («watchful waiting») og palliativ behandling
