Notas del editor
- The prostate is part of the male reproductive system Its major function is to secrete a fluid to nourish semen during reproduction The prostate is about the size of a walnut but it can grow with age It is located below the urinary bladder, in front of the rectum surrounding the urethra (the canal for the discharge of urine that extends from the urinary bladder to the outside)
- Cancer is a cellular disease It is a disordered and abnormal cell growth In prostate cancer cells grow out of control and form tumors If the tumor is within the gland, the cancer is said to be localized and curable If the cancer escapes the gland it is considered incurable Early detection before the cancer escapes the gland becomes very important
- Left graphic representation: Prostate cancer can be localized within the gland as represented by the tumor on the lower part of the prostate gland or it can break through the capsule and invade nearby tissues. Right graphic representation: Prostate cancer cells can escape the prostate and invade the lymph nodes that drain the prostate. From there these cells can invade other organs. Prostate cancer cells preferentially invade bones.
