What is Metastatic Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer occurs in the prostate gland present in the genitals (private parts) of men, when it starts spreading to other parts of the body then it is called metastatic prostate cancer. Dentum’s oral surgeon Dr. Andrzej Bozik told ‘Sun Health’ that prostate cancer can also spread to the jaw. Because the jaw bones have a good blood supply and the bone marrow is active, it becomes a favorable place for the growth of metastatic cancer cells.
When is Metastatic Prostate Cancer Dangerous?
Cases of Metastatic Prostate Cancer in the jaw are rare, but their occurrence means that the cancer has spread significantly. In such a situation, even a slight delay can become fatal. Therefore one should never be careless regarding this.
Prostate cancer can be identified by which problem in the mouth?
Symptoms of jaw metastasis can be quite mild, due to which it is very difficult to detect. Dr. Bozik says that if problems like persistent swelling, pain in the jaw, looseness of teeth without any reason or swelling after tooth extraction persist for a long time or there is numbness or tingling in the jaw, then one should be immediately alerted. These can also be signs of problems related to the nervous system.
