Summary

Prostate cancer occurs when a malignant tumor forms in the tissue of the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. One of the most common types of cancer among American men, this disease especially affects males older than age 65. The cancer can be treated effectively, especially when it has not yet spread beyond the prostate gland. This book provides a comprehensive look at this dangerous disease with insights on prevention, recognition, and treatment.
