Prostate Cancer is a common disease affecting older men. It usually takes years to become large enough to cause any problems. Sometimes, though it grows quickly. Many prostate cancers are found early, when the cancer cells are only in the prostate. When prostate cancer spreads beyond the prostate, it goes first to the lymph nodes in the pelvis, and then on to the bones, lungs, or other organs. About 16 out of 100 men suffer from prostate cancer, but only about 3 die because of it. That means about 97 out of 100 men die of some other diseases than Prostate Cancer. Rapid growth of cell in Prostate Gland is the prostate cancer. The prostate usually gets larger as you age. Having an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH) is very common among older men and doesn’t increase your chance of getting prostate cancer. But an enlarged prostate is sometimes caused by prostate cancer instead of BPH.
