Investigating the risk factor of prostate cancer and the number of recurrences of prostate cancer patients and its relationship with underlying diseases (Study case: Arak city)

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, which may also affect their fertility.Usually, prostate cancer grows slowly and is initially limited to the prostate gland, but if it grows, it spreads and involves other organs as well.While some prostate cancers are benign and can be cured with minimal treatment, others are malignant and can spread quickly.Prostate cancer is the third most common disease in the world.This disease is increasing especially in Iranian men, and the need to have enough information about this disease is clearly felt.Unfortunately, prostate cancer does not show any signs and symptoms in its early stages and formation, that's why its prevalence is increasing and it needs regular and continuous screenings and checks, especially in old age.Therefore, in the present study, the prevalence of prostate cancer and its relationship with underlying diseases in Arak Mord city were studied.For this purpose, a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of ۲۶ questions was designed and uploaded on the Digiform website.After completing the questionnaires by ۵۹ people, the data were analyzed in SPSS version ۲۶ software and graphs were drawn in GraphPad Prism V.۸ software.The results indicated a high prevalence of this disease among men less than ۵۰ years old, and most of them reported a family history of cancer, a history of hypertension, and urinary infections.Also, smoking was observed in almost one fifth of them.The age of disease onset was mostly reported in the range of ۳۰-۳۵ years.Therefore, it was concluded that the prevalence of prostate cancer among young men in Arak city is high and hypertension and family history can be important risk factors for this disease.
