P
rostate
cancer
is a disease
in which cancer
develops in the prostate,
a gland in the male
reproductive
system.
Cancer occurs when cells
of the prostate mutate
and begin to multiply out of control. These cells may spread
(metastasize)
from the prostate to other parts of the body, especially the bones
and lymph
nodes.
Prostate cancer can cause pain,
difficulty urinating,
erectile
dysfunction,
and other symptoms. Prostate cancer only occurs in men and develops
most frequently in individuals over fifty years old. It is the second
most common type of cancer in men; among men, it is responsible for
more deaths than any other cancer except lung
cancer.
Prostate cancer is most often discovered by screening blood
tests,
such as the PSA (prostate
specific antigen)
test or by physical
examination
of the prostate gland by a health care provider. Prostate cancer can
be treated with surgery,
radiation
therapy,
hormone
therapy,
occasionally chemotherapy,
or some combination of these. The age and underlying health of the
man as well as the extent of spread, appearance under the microscope,
and response of the cancer to initial treatment are important in
determining the outcome of the disease.

Text 3. Spaarndam
Spaarndam is a small village on the Spaarne and IJ rivers. The oldest part of the village, on the western side of the Spaarne, belongs to the municipality of Haarlem; the newer part on the eastern side is a part of the municipality of Haarlemmerliede en Spaarnwoude. The village is built around a sluice in the river, this sluice is also the division line of the two municipalities.
Spaarndam was created around a dam where the river Spaarne flows into the IJ. This dam was built here by count Floris V of Holland in 1285. The village collected toll at this dam, and people made their living with fishing. From 1812 to 1927 Spaarndam was an independent municipality (comprising only the western part of the current town).
The village has some tourism, and many people commute to Amsterdam and Haarlem.
Spaarndam has always been strongly connected to water: besides the river and the fishing, it is now also famous because of the story of Hansje Brinker. This is a character in an American book, that stuck his finger in a dike to prevent the town from flooding; he was supposedly living in Spaarndam. The local tourist bureau has put a statue of this fictional character in the town.
