What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small, walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid.
This type of cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men, and it typically grows slowly.
In some cases, it may not cause any symptoms or require treatment.
However, in other cases, it can be aggressive and spread to other parts of the body.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but certain risk factors, such as age, family history, and race, can increase a man's likelihood of developing the disease.
Early detection and treatment are important for improving the chances of successful treatment.
