Prostate Cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow in the prostate gland. It is one of the most common cancers in men, especially with increasing age. Early detection and proper treatment can help manage the condition effectively and improve outcomes.
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. It helps in producing fluid that forms part of semen. In prostate cancer, cells in the gland grow abnormally and may spread if not treated.
In many cases, prostate cancer develops slowly and may not show symptoms in the early stages.
