Prostate cancer is cancer of a mans prostate which is a small walnut-sized gland that produces seminal fluid.
A man's prostate produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
Symptoms include difficulty with urination, but sometimes there are no symptoms at all.
Some types of prostate cancer grow slowly.
In some of these cases, monitoring is recommended.
Other types of prostate cancer are aggressive and require radiation, surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or other treatments.
The good news is though that in most cases prostate cancer can be cured if it's caught early and treatment begins early enough.
The prostate cancer can be cured, when detected and treated early.
The vast majority of prostate cancer cases (more than 90 percent) are discovered in the early stages, making the tumors more likely to respond to treatment.
Treatment for prostate cancer doesn't always have to mean surgery or chemotherapy, either.
A core needle biopsy is the main method used to diagnose prostate cancer.
It is usually done by a urologist.
During the biopsy, the doctor usually looks at the prostate with an imaging test such as transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or MRI, or a 'fusion' of the two.
