Best Prostate Cancer Treatment Hospital in Mumbai, India - Kokilaben Hospital

Prostate Cancer is a disease which only affects men. Cancer begins to grow in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed male cancer in many Western countries and records show that its incidence is increasing in India. The number of recorded cases has increased a lot in recent years. This is partly due to the increased use of the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test, which has resulted in more cases being detected and partly due to the fact that men are living longer.

Like most cancers, prostate cancer is more common in those over 60. In 2013, more than 242,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 28,000 men will die from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.1 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 18.6 minutes.

What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is caused when cells in the prostate multiply and grow out of control to form a mass or tumour. Being a very variable disease, some tumours remain small and grow so slowly that they cause no problems for the rest of a man’s life; others are aggressive (which may eventually spread to bone), grow quickly and become life-threatening.
