Prostate cancer is known to be the most common and dangerous cancer, second only to lung cancer. Prostate biopsy is a technique mainly used to detect prostate cancer.

There are many ways to treat prostate cancer. The main treatments are watchful waiting, active surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. Sometimes patients receive more than one treatment.

Cancer can start anywhere in the body. Prostate cancer begins in the prostate gland, when cells in the prostate grow out of control.
