Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and second leading cause of death in American men.
About 180,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year, and 40,000 men will die from this disease. The prostate is the most diseased organ in a man's body. The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that surrounds the male urethra at the bladder base. Its primary function is to provide nourishment to the sperm and to provide lubrication for the male urethra tube. As a gland, the prostate produces secretions.
