Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate grow and multiply uncontrollably, damaging surrounding tissue and interfering with the normal function of the prostate. The cells can spread to other parts of the body. When the disease spreads, it is still called prostate cancer.  Prostate cancer confined to the gland often is treated successfully. The prostate gland is located in the pelvis, below the bladder, above the urethral sphincter and the penis, and in front of the rectum in men. Prostate cancer occurs in 1 out of 6 men. Blood in the urine or semen, Frequent urination, especially at night, Inability to urinate, agging pain or stiffness in the back, hips, upper thighs, or pelvis, Painful ejaculation, Pain or burning during urination (dysuria), Weak or interrupted urinary flow are the Symptoms of Prostate cancer. Treatment for prostate cancer depends on the stage of the disease and the patient's age and overall health.

Depending on the extent of the disease, there are several surgical options for prostate cancer. http://your_home_page_url/ Your copyright information Over the past few years Prostate Cancer has been targeted by health authorities as the largest hidden killer of men over 45 years of age.
