<description><![CDATA[Throughout North America, Europe and Japan, prostate cancer has touched the lives of approximately 38 million men. In many cases, it develops slowly and displays few if any symptoms. Because this form of cancer is most common in men over fifty, a large number of diagnosed cases will in fact die of unrelated causes, such as heart disease or even old age. This, however, is of small comfort to that sizable minority of cases in which prostate cancer develops quickly and aggressively (roughly one-third of the total). For these unlucky patients, mortality rates are higher than those of all other forms of cancer, save cancer of the lungs.

<description><![CDATA[They all have roughly the same symptoms and of the four, only prostate cancer is potentially life threatening. All men are at risk of developing prostate cancer. It is the most common cancer for men and statistics show that it affects one in six males, though only one in 36 males will die of it. It is a slow-growing cancer that often develops without exhibiting any symptoms. The danger lies in the cancer metastasizing-- when the cancer spreads beyond the prostate and travels to other parts of the body such the bones or lymph nodes. Then, a cure becomes impossible. There are no known causes for prostate cancer. Instead, there are factors that influence and put some at a greater risk of developing the cancer.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The prostate is a gland that can be found in the male reproductive system, located beneath the urinary bladder and just in front of the rectum. It wraps around the urethra (the tube where urine and semen passes through to exit). The prostate's main function is to secrete a fluid that protects, aids, and nourishes sperm cells in semen. It also helps in keeping semen fluid. There are several types of prostate cancer but the most common type is known as adenocarcinoma. Almost all prostate cancers develop from the gland cells (gland cells are responsible for the fluid added to the semen). While some prostate cancers grow and spread aggressively, it is more usual for them to progress slowly. They often do not exhibit any symptoms, too, especially in the early stages. It is important to note that just because there are no symptoms, it doesn't mean that there is no cancer. It's possible for someone to have potentially life-threatening prostate cancer without experiencing any symptoms.]]></description>
