What is Prostate Cancer?
Abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland
Easily detected by a trained physician
Relatively easy to cure if treated prior to metastasizing or spreading beyond the prostate gland
Sometimes, a very slow growing cancer can be left untreated
If the cancer has spread outside of the gland, it may still be successfully treated
