Prostate cancer is that the development of cancer within the prostate, a gland within the male genital system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing; however, some grow relatively quickly. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other areas of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. It's going to initially cause no symptoms. In later stages, it can cause difficulty urinating, blood within the urine, or pain within the pelvis, back, or when urinating. A disease referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia may produce similar symptoms. Other late symptoms may include feeling tired thanks to low levels of red blood cells. Factors that increase the danger of prostatic adenocarcinoma include older age, a case history of the disease, and race. About 99% of cases occur in males over the age of fifty. Having a first-degree relative with the disease increases the danger two- to three-fold. Other factors which will be involved include a diet high in processed meat, red meat, or milk products or low in certain vegetables.
