Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops and affects the prostate. This is the small gland located in the lower abdomen of a man, just underneath the bladder near the urethra. Hormone testosterone regulates the prostate and manufactures seminal fluid, referred to as the semen. This is a substance that contains sperms and gets out of the urethra during ejaculation.
Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal and malignant cells known as tumors grow in the prostate. Some types of tumors grow rapidly and can spread to other parts of the body. However, others grow gradually and do not necessarily require treatment.
