Patient's question:
Your uncle went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago, and the doctor told you that he has a prostate tumor. Your uncle doesn't know what a prostate tumor is. What is a prostate tumor?Doctor's answer:
Like many other tumors, the direct cause of prostate cancer is unclear. However, according to existing literature, one of the most important factors is hereditary transmission across generations. If there is a history of prostate cancer in the family, the risk of developing prostate cancer is several times higher than that of other healthy individuals. Currently, many experiments on the molecular etiology of prostate cancer are being conducted and will provide evidence for hereditary transmission in the recurrence of prostate cancer. Wishing patients a speedy recovery and good health!
