Several recent studies indicate that PSA doubling time -- the time it takes for a patient's PSA level to double -- predicts how aggressive the cancer is. The faster the PSA level doubles, the more aggressive the cancer. When prostate cancer spreads, it usually goes to the bones or lymph nodes.

Learn More »Prostate cancer is a complex disease. Doctors cannot always predict how fast or slow it will grow. Nor do they agree on when to treat it, or which treatments to use. Predicting and monitoring the disease with accuracy helps doctors and patients make decisions that result in the best survival rates and quality of life. Predicting Aggressive Prostate Cancer If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, your doctor will probably evaluate several factors to determine how aggressive it is. These "markers" identify whether the cancer is low risk, intermediate risk, or high risk. Low-risk prostate cancer is slow growing and not likely to spread quickly. High-risk prostate cancer is aggressive, meaning it is likely to spread quickly outside the prostate. Understanding the risk level of your cancer will help your doctor advise you about possible treatments. Your doctor will look at key "markers" for aggressive cancer, as well as the "stage" of your specific cancer. Commonly used markers for prostate cancer include: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland. It is normal to secrete small amounts of PSA into the bloodstream. Larger amounts of PSA in the bloodstream usually signal that the prostate gland is enlarged, infected, or malignant. PSA levels are determined by a simple blood test. The higher the number, the more likely the patient is to have prostate cancer. PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland.

Several studies indicate that when PSA levels increase sharply, the cancer is likely to be aggressive. Several studies indicate that when PSA levels increase sharply, the cancer is likely to be aggressive. Gleason score. The cells in the tumor are graded on the basis of how abnormal, or normal they look when the tissue is examined under a microscope. The tumor is given a grade, from 1-5. The two most abnormal areas are evaluated. These numbers are then added. This number is called the Gleason score. The higher the number, the more aggressive the tumor and the more likely its spread. A tumor with a Gleason score of 6 or lower is less likely to spread.

Men with advanced prostate cancer or whose cancer has spread to other regions have lesser survival rates. About one-third will survive for 5 years after diagnosis.
If prostate cancer is left untreated, it may grow and possibly spread out of the prostate gland to the local tissues or distant sites such as liver and lungs.
