Early-stage disease
Men with organ-confined prostate cancer often are have no
detectable symptoms related to their prostate cancer. Men
with an enlarged prostate can have urinary symptoms (frequency
or slowstreams) that are usually not caused by their prostate
cancer.
Advanced disease
Urinary symptoms can be a sign of locally
advanced prostate cancer. A few men with locally advanced
disease present with hematuria, urinary tract infections,
and irritative voiding symptoms secondary to bladder outlet
obstruction.
Rarely, men with metastatic prostate cancer can develop bone
pain or leg swelling, weakness or (rarely) paralysis.
