NCIt definition : One of the most common malignant tumors afflicting men. The majority of carcinomas
arise in the peripheral zone and a minority occur in the central or the transitional
zone of the prostate gland. Grossly, prostatic carcinomas appear as ill-defined yellow
areas of discoloration in the prostate gland lobes. Adenocarcinomas represent the
overwhelming majority of prostatic carcinomas. Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) serum
test is widely used as a screening test for the early detection of prostatic carcinoma.
Treatment options include radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, androgen ablation
and cryotherapy. Watchful waiting or surveillance alone is an option for older patients
with low-grade or low-stage disease.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive
system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually
occurs in older men.;
