Five Most Common Cancers In Men


Cancer presents a real danger for men's health. However, suspicions about the existing danger and knowing to recognize its major symptoms, men get the chance to live a longer life.

1. Prostate cancer
Unfortunately, on early stages prostate cancer does not show itself, therefore if during digital rectal examination your doctor found that prostate gland is increased, it is necessary to make blood test to find out the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA test) and if necessary to make biopsy.

2. Lung cancer
Its major symptom is persisting long-lasting cough, blood in cough spit, pains in chest that are not connected with movements.

3. Bowel cancer
Blood in feces is the sign that you should go to the doctor. Sometimes its cause may be hemorrhoid and diverticulitis and sometimes it may be precancerous polypus. Anyway it is necessary to perform colonoscopy.

4. Bladder cancer
Early symptom of this cancer may be blood in urine.

5. Lymphadenoma
In case lymph glands are increased on the neck, arm-pits, groin and if nodes do not go away during a week it is necessary to seek doctor's advice. Another cause to worry is sudden weight loss or pains in  lymph glands after drinking alcohol.
