Prostate cancer is the most frequent form of cancer in men. If a woman finds a breast lump in her breast she will immediately think she has breast cancer and if a man begins to urinate more often during night time and whose doctor tells him he has prostate cancer, he will fear the cancer of this gland.

The prostate is a muscular organ-gland, situated just below the bladder in prostatic lodge, surrounding the first cuff portion of the urethra. The prostate has a chestnut form headed to the bladder. The dorsal face of the prostate comes in relation to the rectum, making it possible to palpate through the anus. For a man of 20-25 years, the prostate is 4-4,5 cm long, 3-5 cm wide and weighing about 20 grams, having a diameter of about 38 millimeters.

Unfortunately the causes of prostate cancer are not known exactly, but doctors have identified several risk factors, that increase the chance of developing this disease.

Risk Factors - Age: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, especially after 50 years. Prostate cancer in the medical background of the family: Men who have close relatives who suffered from prostate cancer have a higher risk of developing this disease.

Eating: Some food factors seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer- for example diets rich in red meat, fats and dairy products. On the contrary, other foods seem to have a protective effect. Specialists from the American Institute for Cancer Research estimate that over 30% of all cancers are related to diet. The link between cancer and nutrition is double, meaning that some foods increase cancer risk and others decrease it. Prostate cancer is no exception. Recent studies have revealed a close link between what we eat and this form of cancer.
