Prostate cancer is cancer confined to the prostate gland, a male organ about the size of a walnut (located between the bladder and urethra), which contributes fluids to semen. Behind skin cancer, prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in men. This year more than 220,000 U.S. men will be diagnosed with the disease. One in six men will face it in their lifetime. Surgical removal of the prostate has long been the gold standard treatment for prostate cancer.
