Prostate cancer is a disease in which prostate cells divide abnormally and destroy that tissue permanently. The prostate is a small gland in males resembling the shape of a walnut that forms the seminal fluid that nourishes and allows the carriage of sperm. Cancer of the prostate is one of the commonest types of cancer. Many prostate cancers grow very slowly and are mostly restricted to the prostate gland. They may need little or sometimes no treatment at all, whereas some other types are highly aggressive and can spread within a very short duration of time. Prostate cancer detected at its earliest but still confined to the prostate gland has the highest chance for successful treatment.
