The prostate cancer is cancer that affects a small gland called the prostate gland in males that is part of the male reproductive system producing fluid for the semen. Sited below the bladder and surrounding the urethra, the prostate gland may develop malignant cells that keep on growing and massing up to form tumors. It is common for a man to not know that he has prostate cancer because it is usually slow and may not cause any kind of symptoms and if it spreads to other parts of the body it may be very painful. Typically, early signs may be characterized by problems with urination, presence of blood in urine or even hip or back pain. This enables doctors identify prostate cancer early enough thus increasing chances of treatment success. Therapies include operation, irradiation, as well as drugs.
