Prostate cancer is a common form of cancer that affects the prostate gland in men. The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland that is part of the male reproductive system. Early symptoms of prostate cancer may not be noticeable, but as the disease progresses, men may experience difficulty urinating, weak or interrupted flow of urine, and pain or burning during urination. Treatment options depend on the stage and severity of the cancer and may include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy.
