Welcome to the Prostate Cancer Channel

Prostate cancer, the second most common type of cancer among American men, occurs when abnormal cell growth takes place in the prostate gland. In a lot of cases, prostate cancer is not a problem. Either no symptoms are present or the disease never becomes a serious threat to a man's health. Only a small percentage of men are actually treated for it, and most men with the condition do not die from this disease.
