Question

what is prostate gland cancer and what its cause...???

Answer 1

Prostate cancer is cancer of prostate gland. The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland present only in men, found in the pelvis below the bladder. Theprostate gland wraps around the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the body) and lies in front of the rectum.

On a basic level, prostate cancer is caused by changes in the DNA of a normal prostate cell. DNA is the chemical in our cells that makes up our genes. Our genes control how our cells function. We usually look like our parents because they are the source of our DNA. But DNA affects more than just how we look.

Some genes control when our cells grow, divide into new cells, and die:

Certain genes that help cells grow, divide, and stay alive are called oncogenes.
Genes that normally keep cell growth under control, repair mistakes in DNA, or cause cells to die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes.
Cancer can be caused in part by DNA changes (mutations) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes.

DNA changes can either be inherited from a parent or can be acquired during a person’s lifetime.

Answer 2

The prostrate is a gland in the male reproductive system . It makes most of the semen that carries sperm . This walnut sized gland is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the upper part of the urethra .
Inherited mutations in this gene might let abnormal cells live longer than they should . Hope it helps !
