Dr Gabriel Ogah, Consultant Urologist, Ogah Hospital and Urology Centre, Fugar, Edo State discusses prostate cancer with SIMON UTEBORProstate cancer is cancer in the prostate – a walnut-sized gland lo
cated between the bladder and the penis. Cancer in essence is a group of tissues made up of cells in a certain part of the body that grow haphazardly, uncontrollably and eventually lead to the death of the individual if not taken care of.That is different from the normal growth of tissues like the breast of a girl that grows out of the body. It is controlled – it grows to a certain extent and once the lady is mature, the breasts stop growing and they produce milk to feed the child.
Again, agricultural pesticides are also contributory. A research was done in the United States where they found out that certain herbicides used on farms are absorbed by the soil, especially as the herbicides will go into the crops and when people eat the crops, it predisposes them to cancer. Another predisposing factor is radiation used for warfare. For instance, during the Vietnam War, lots of cluster bombs were used. The radiation from such bombs predisposes people to prostate cancer. For instance, the American warplanes were spraying the whole of the forest with herbicides that could destroy the leaves so that soldiers could not hide under the trees.
It is also said that prostate cancer can cause impotence and inability to urinate, what is your take on that?
