		Prostate cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in a man's prostate gland
		The most common way to check for prostate cancer is to have a digital rectal exam, in which the doctor puts a gloved, lubricated finger in your rectum to feel your prostate, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
		A higher level of PSA may mean that you have prostate cancer, but it could also mean that you have an enlargement or infection of the prostate.

	Prostate
		Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), which is dysplasia of the epithelium lining prostate glands, is a probable precursor of prostatic carcinoma.
		The appearance of PIN warrants increased surveillance of the prostate for development of an invasive carcinoma because the presence of PIN that is high grade suggests an increased risk for subsequent appearance of adenocarcinoma.
		Prostatic adenocarcinomas almost always arise in the posterior outer zone of the prostate and are often multifocal.

		The prostate is a small, walnut-sized and shaped gland deeply imbedded in the center of the pelvis where it produces a milky fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation.
		But the prostate is not necessary for normal sexual function nor is it clear that it has a direct influence on preventing urinary tract infection.
		If the prostate is enlarged and there is a palpable mass, surgery may be indicated to remove as much of the prostate, tumor and surrounding lymph tissue as possible to check for metastasis (spread of the cancer cells).

	Natural Options for a Healthy Prostate : by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
		As the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the prostate gland to press inward against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose, narrowing the space for urine to pass.
		Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) seems to be related to the long-term exposure of the prostate to the strong androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and, possibly, to estrogens.
		Prostate massage (also known as prostate milking) is sometimes carried out as a medical procedure for the treatment of prostatitis, and infection or inflammation of the prostate gland.

	Prostate cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prostate cancer is a disease in which cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system.
		The decision whether or not to treat localized prostate cancer (a tumor that is contained within the prostate) with curative intent is a patient trade-off between the expected beneficial and harmful effects in terms of patient survival and quality of life.
		Prostate cancer was initially considered a rare disease, probably because of shorter life expectancies and poorer detection methods in the 19th century.
