About Prostate Cancer:

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, with nearly one in six American men diagnosed during his lifetime. This disease develops gradually as malignant (cancerous) cells form in the tissues of the prostate gland, eventually spreading to surrounding structures via the lymph nodes.

While most men with prostate cancer have no symptoms, physicians can find prostate cancer in its early stages during regular screenings for the disease. With an arsenal of advanced technologies and a skilled team of specialists, The Lacks Cancer Center offers an extensive range of treatment options that successfully attack prostate cancer.

• Weak or interrupted flow of urine
