Prostate cancer begins in the prostate gland, which is located between the pennis and the bladder. It is one of the most common types of cancer in men, particularly over the age of 50 - the risk increases with age. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 1 man in 8 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer, if detected in the early stages, can be treated successfully.
