A urologist recently told me that in 49 out of 50 cases prostate cancer does not spread beyond the prostate. There have been autopsies on men who have died with prostate cancer but not from prostate cancer. The doctor also said they don’t know if you are the 1 out of 50.

You need to have regular PSA test. Prostate cancer contained in the prostate gland and found early is treatable. Once if gets outside the gland the problems increase. There are problems with the prostate gland beside cancer, such as infection and enlargement which cause a lot of discomfort but I don’t think any doctor would remove a person’s prostate gland without a diagnosis that concluded there was a dangerous cancer.
