However, PSA can also be high with other <a href='http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/prostatediseases.html'>prostate conditions</a>. Since the PSA test became common, most prostate cancers are found before they cause symptoms. Symptoms of prostate cancer may include</p><ul><li> Problems passing urine, such as pain, difficulty starting or stopping the stream, or dribbling</li><li> Low back pain</li><li> Pain with ejaculation</li></ul><p>Prostate cancer treatment often depends on the stage of the cancer.

Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or control of hormones | lld:umls |
