What is Prostate Cancer?
In common terms, cancer is a serious condition in which a normal cell becomes abnormal and starts to grow uncontrollably and wildly without any signals which stop the typical cell growth. Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, which is responsible for discharging one of the components of semen. In many cases, prostate cancer is slow-growing, which can sometimes take a couple of years for the cancer doctor to diagnose and even longer to metastasize. On the contrary, some cases need urgent advanced prostate cancer treatment.
