Prostate cancer affects men, especially those over 50. It develops slowly, often going unnoticed until advanced stages. However, early detection improves outcomes significantly.

Regular PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood tests, digital rectal exams (DRE), and biopsies are used for diagnosis.

Active Surveillance: Monitoring slow-growing tumors before choosing aggressive treatments.

Surgery: Prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland).

Radiation Therapy: An alternative to surgery for localized cancer, or used post-surgery to ensure cancer cells are destroyed.

Hormone Therapy: Reduces the production of testosterone, which prostate cancer cells need to grow.

Can be highly effective, either alone in early stages or combined with other treatments in advanced cases, to control cancer growth.
