What is prostate cancer?

It is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine)

It is about the size of a walnut

It surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder)

The prostate gland makes fluid that is part of the semen

Prostate cancer is found mainly in older men

As men age, the prostate may get bigger and block the urethra or bladder

This may cause trouble urinating or sexual problems
The condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and although it is not cancer, surgery may be needed to correct it

The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or of other problems in the prostate may be like symptoms of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate
