Detailed explanation-1: -The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in males that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and are confined to the prostate gland, where they may not cause serious harm.
Detailed explanation-2: -In theory, prostate cancer cells can spread anywhere in the body. In practice, though, prostate cancer metastasis occurs most often in the lymph nodes and the bones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men and in non-Hispanic Black men. About 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older, and it is rare in men under 40. The average age of men when they are first diagnosed is about 66.
Detailed explanation-4: -2 Most older patients with prostate cancer do not die of prostate cancer. As the life expectancy of the general population increases, the risk of developing prostate cancer among seniors is also expected to proportionally rise.
