Tumors may grow in other areas of the body, such as the bladder, bones, legs, or lungs. In the early stages, you may not notice any symptoms related to prostate cancer. This is why screenings are important. Symptoms can sometimes be noticed for the first time when the cancer advances. Advanced prostate cancer, also called metastatic cancer, means the cancer has spread to other areas of your body beyond your prostate gland. The most common areas for prostate cancer to spread are your bladder, rectum, and bones. It can also spread to your lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and other body tissues. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’re in treatment, it’s also important to know the signs of advanced cancer. Cancer can behave differently depending on your genetics, so not every person will experience the same symptoms in the same way. Read on to learn more about the seven top symptoms of advanced prostate cancer and how to spot them. 1. Bladder and urinary troubles A prostate tumor that has grown significantly in size may start to press on your bladder and urethra. The urethra is the passage the carries urine from your bladder out of your body. If the tumor is pressing on your urethra, you might have trouble passing urine. One of the common areas for prostate cancer to spread to is the bladder, because the two organs are close. This can cause additional problems with urination and bladder function. Some symptoms your bladder and urethra are being affected by cancer include: urinating more frequently

When cancer reaches your bones, it starts to crowd out healthy bone material. Bones become brittle and can break much easier than they normally would. Having cancer spread to your bones is painful and often requires treatment to manage the pain. You may feel a dull ache or stabbing pain that doesn’t go away and disrupts sleep or regular activities. Back pain can be a sign of both cancer spreading to your bones or the beginning of pressure on your spinal cord. Spinal cord compression happens when cancer is pushing so hard against the spinal cord that the nerves can no longer work properly. This requires medical treatment, and your cancer team might talk to you about a plan ahead of time. 6. Coughing or feeling out of breath If you have advanced cancer and begin to have trouble breathing, this could mean it has spread to your lungs. You might develop a cough that doesn’t go away, start coughing up blood, or become easily out of breath. Cancer in your lungs can also lead to fluid buildup, causing infections and even a lung collapse. 7. Unexplained weight loss Losing weight without eating less or actively trying to lose weight is a general sign of advanced cancer. This could be combined with some of the other signs above. Loss of appetite or interest in eating is also a sign cancer has spread to other areas of your body, like your liver.
