Prostate cancer is a disease in which cancer cells develop in the prostate gland in the male reproductive organ. The prostate is usually a tiny gland that rests under the bladder and also in front of the rectum. It mainly occurs when cells of the prostate mutate and begin to multiply in an unregulated fashion. The collection of tissues or cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body in a similar fashion. Prostate cancer may not cause symptoms for many years; therefore, it is extremely important for patients to their doctor for routine screening checks with PSA and rectal examinations. Once diagnosed, there are number of excellent treatment options for Prostate cancer. Studies have revealed that for patients with locally advanced and aggressive prostate cancer, the combination of certain therapies including Brachytherapy, External Beam Radiation Therapy and Hormonal Manipulation are quite effective with recent data showing cure rates much higher than recently felt to be possible.
