prostate cancer
Prostate cancer develops in a man's prostate, which is a small gland Seminal fluid is produced in the prostate, which nourishes and transports sperm
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men Prostate cancer usually develops slowly and is initially confined to the prostate gland, where it does not cause serious damage. Some forms of prostate cancer are slow-growing and may not require treatment at all, but there are aggressive types that spread quickly.
Malignant prostate cancer, which is detected in the early stages and involves only the prostate, is characterized by a better prognosis At this time, there is a great chance of successful treatment
The causes of prostate cancer are unknown
Doctors believe that prostate cancer develops as a result of the degeneration of some prostate cells. A mutation in the DNA of abnormal cells causes the cells to grow and divide faster than normal cells Abnormal cells do not die at the same time as normal cells Accumulated abnormal cells form a tumor that grows and invades nearby tissues Some abnormal cells can break away from their original site and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
In the early stages, prostate cancer may not cause symptoms
Symptoms of a malignant prostate tumor in the later stages are:
- Difficulty urinating
- Decreased urine flow
- Bloody semen
- Discomfort in the pelvic area
- Bone pain
