Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, a small organ in men that helps produce semen. It originates from glandular cells lining the prostate, which start to grow uncontrollably. This cancer is the most common form of prostate cancer. Often, it grows slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms early on. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, biopsies, and imaging. Early detection and treatment can effectively manage the disease, but advanced cases can spread to other parts of the body. Regular screenings are important for at-risk men.
