prostate cancer
Gland tumor, men
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor of the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra in men.
It's among the most common cancers in men, typically slow-growing and often detected through PSA screening.
Early stages may show no symptoms; advanced cases can cause urinary problems or bone pain.
His prostate cancer was caught early and treated successfully.
