Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate. The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in males that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in males. The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test detects cancer by showing a rise in blood PSA levels. The PSA test is usually recommended as a screen for prostate cancer. If the PSA level is high, other tests may be done to confirm prostate cancer. A prostate biopsy is usually done to see if cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
