Learning About Prostrate Cancer

Whether you (or a loved one) are worried about developing prostate cancer, have just been diagnosed, are going through treatment, or are trying to stay well after treatment, this introductory overview can help you begin to find the answers you need.
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the prostate, it is called prostate cancer. The prostate is a walnut-sized organ located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. It produces fluid that makes up a part of semen.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men, and second only to lung cancer in the number of cancer deaths.
