Prostate cancer
* Many prostate cancers are curable if detected early
  - slow growing
  - small and grow slowly
* Many prostate cancers grow very slowly and never cause symptoms
  - remain dormant and undiagnosed for years without causing symptoms
* Most prostate cancer develops late in life and grows slowly
  - grows very slowly
* Most prostate cancers are hormone-dependent and use the male hormone testosterone to grow
  - begin in the outer part of the prostate
  - depend on androgens, or male steroid hormones, to grow
  - develop in older men and grow very slowly
* Most prostate cancers grow very slowly, but some can spread quickly to other parts of the body
  - especially in older men
  - spread and become incurable before they are found without screening
* Some prostate cancer is familial
  - cancers can grow and spread quickly, especially in younger men
* Some prostate cancers grow rapidly and spread
  - rapidly, metastasize, and quickly lead to death
* accounts for one of every three cancers among American men

* can also be deadly
  - serious and fatal
  - form in the tissue of the central zone
  - spread to the bones, liver, bladder, rectum, and other organs
