Prostate Cancer

Cancer of the prostate is almost always a primary cancer, meaning that prostate cancer originates in the prostate rather than traveling there from another part of the body. Typically, prostate cancer begins in the outer part of the prostate . As tumor grows, prostate cancer may spread to the inner part of the prostate. Like other cancers, prostate cancer can then metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body.
