A cancer type which often affects men is prostate cancer.  Various risk factors can make a prostate cancer therapy necessary. For example, it can be simply advanced age which increases the probability of prostate cancer. In other cases, the cause can be a high-fat diet or a genetically predispositioned family history. Because the prostate is a highly sensitive organ, the causes can be manifold. In most cases, the patient notices a weak flow of urine and urination is painful. In some cases, difficulty controlling urination can also occur. If, in addition, the patient is experiencing pain in his back and lower abdomen, then a diagnosis indicating the need for prostate cancer therapy is almost certain.

When we look at the prostate gland more closely, we see a gland with billions of cells. As an organ involved in the process of urination,  it has a vital function. The prostate gland consists of an inner and an outer gland. Here is where cancer starts to do what it always does: In persons of a certain age, the outer gland begins to grow uncontrollably. The development of superfluous cell tissue is not necessarily malignant, but as soon as typical tumour symptoms arise, a prostate cancer therapy is urgently recommended.

The medical profession therefore advises all men of middle age and over to have a prostate check-up in order to detect risks at an early stage, so that a prostate cancer therapy is not necessary. In addition to the prostate examination, an overall examination should always be carried out in order to detect any secondary diseases.

One of the therapy forms utilised in the case of prostate cancer is hyperthermia. In this therapy form, the prostate gland is exposed to high temperatures, the advantage being that tumour cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells. In most cases this prostate cancer therapy alone is not sufficient, but it provides a gentle secondary therapy to support the conventional methods of treating prostate cancer.
