It's not easy to understand
prostate cancer
- On the one hand, it is cancer. So, like other cancers, there’s
a chance it could grow and spread and even cause death.
- On the other hand, prostate cancer is a very different kind
of cancer. Most prostate cancers grow very slowly and never
cause problems. A few grow quickly.
- In the early stages, doctors can’t always tell how your prostate
cancer will act.
- If men live long enough, most will have cancer cells in their
prostate, but few will die of it. About 60 out of 100 men over
the age of 70 have cancer cells whether they know it or not.
