Many people are confused about the prostate. Where is it situated? What are the symptoms of prostate cancer? What treatments are available?

The prostate is a small gland located underneath the bladder in men. It is shaped like a doughnut and fits around the tube (called the urethra) which carries urine out of the bladder. The prostate produces the fluid that mixes with sperm when a man ejaculates.

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men in many western countries. However, most prostate tumors are slow-growing and may not need treatment. Others grow quickly and eventually spread to the bones, where they can cause severe pain and death.

Currently there are 30,000 new cases a year in the UK; 215,000 in the USA; 20,000 in Canada and 12,000 new cases a year in Australia.
