Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate gland.
An estimated 15% to 20% of American men develop prostate cancer during
their lifetime. Prostate cancer can cause pain, difficulty in urinating
and erectile dysfunction. Prostate cancer differs from most other
cancers in the body due to the fact that it typically remains dormant
for many years. However, in some men prostate cancer can become
aggressive. Prostate cancer is considered to be aggressive when the
cancer cells metastasize. This is the process whereby it spreads from
the prostate gland to other parts of the body, particularly the lymph
nodes and the bones.
