Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that
develops in the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, pecan-shaped organ found only in
men, responsible for producing the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Many prostate cancers grow
slowly and remain confined to the prostate gland, often causing few or no symptoms. In such
cases, minimal or no immediate treatment may be required. However, some types of prostate
cancer are aggressive and can spread rapidly to other parts of the body.
Early detection of prostate cancer significantly increases the chances of successful
treatment, especially when the disease is still limited to the prostate. Regular screening
and timely medical evaluation play a crucial role in effective management and improved
outcomes.
