Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is diagnosed mainly in men over the age of 50 years. Excluding some forms of skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Australian men. Prostate cancer is a condition in which cells within the prostate grow and divide abnormally so that a tumour grows in the prostate.
Prostate cancer cells can be very slow-growing and not cause any problems or symptoms, and may not become life-threatening. However, in other cases, the cancer cells can grow more rapidly and may spread to other parts of the body. It is not known why some cancers grow at different rates and, in particular, which cancers will spread to other parts of the body.

Excluding some types of skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, with approximately 20,000 new cases diagnosed and approximately 3,300 deaths recorded each year in Australia.
