We all are aware that cancer is a type of disease characterized by the uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells that may infect healthy cells in the body and spread to other parts of the body as well.

Immunotherapy for Cancer is known to be one of the most promising new cancer treatment approaches that enhance the integral powers of the immune system to fight against cancer cells. It is completely risk-free treatment, which is used to recover the patients from all types of cancer.

Prostate cancer may develop from the cells found in the prostate, but most of the time it develops from the gland cells, which is known as adenocarcinoma.

General information about the prostate gland:

• The prostate is a gland, which is found in the male reproductive system lies below the bladder and in front of the rectum.

• It is about the size of the walnut and surrounds the first part of the urethra

•  It makes fluid that is a part of the semen.

• It produces a protein, called as prostate specific antigen (PSA).

After skin cancer, prostate cancer is known to be the second most common form of cancer among men, affecting about 14% men according to the American Cancer Society. It is a sort of cancer in which malignant (cancer) cells develops in the tissues of the prostate.
