Prostate cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in elderly men. It is the second most common form of malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. The cause remains unknown, and only with early detection can this illness be cured. Unfortunately, early warning signs are rare, but any change in urinary pattern should be considered due to prostate cancer until proven otherwise. This discussion will focus on pathophysiology, diagnosis, early detection, evaluation, staging, and treatment modalities for prostate cancer.
