Knowing the Early Signs of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer happens when the cells in your prostate gland start to grow out of control. Your prostate glands are responsible for making some fluid that is part of your semen. The prostate is the walnut-sized gland located below your bladder and in front of your rectum.
