📋Overview

This condition is among the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men, particularly within older populations. It originates when cells in the prostate gland begin to grow uncontrollably, often remaining localized for extended periods.

The clinical behavior of these tumors can vary significantly, ranging from slow-growing instances that may require minimal intervention to more aggressive forms that can spread to other parts of the body.
