Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer
among men and is the second leading cause of death
in North America. When confined to the prostate, the
5-year survival rate is 100%. If the cancer spreads
regionally, the survival rate is 95% after 5 years. This
disease occurs more often in African American men
at a rate greater than 60% higher than those seen in
White men. Asians and Native Americans have the
lowest incidence of prostate cancer. Taking large
amounts of vitamin A does not reduce the incidence
of prostate cancer.

The nurse is interviewing a client admitted with a diagnosis
of prostate cancer and questions the client regarding his
symptoms. Which symptoms, if experienced by the client,
support the diagnosis?
(Select all that apply.)
Polyuria
Reduction in urinary stream
Frequent urination
Dysuria
Nocturia
Ans: B, C, D, E
Rationale
Dysuria is painful or difficult urination that occurs
because of prostatic cancer. As the tumor grows, it
can compress the urethra, leading to urinary
obstruction. The tumor may metastasize directly into
the seminal vesicles or bladder or may spread via the
lymphatic and venous systems.
Other manifestations of prostate cancer include
hematuria, nocturia, increased urinary frequency,
reduction in urinary stream, and abnormal prostate
on digital rectal exam. Polyuria is not a symptom of
prostate cancer.
The nurse caring for a client with prostate cancer knows that
which surgical treatment might be included in the client's
plan of care?
Urinary bladder transplant
