prostate cancer

prostate cancer happens when cells in the prostate gland grow abnormally and out of control. (the prostate is part of the male reproductive system. it is a small organ below the bladder that makes fluid for semen.)

prostate cancer is usually slow-growing, taking years to grow large enough to cause any problems. but in some cases, the cancer can grow more quickly and spread to other parts of the body.
