Overview
Prostate cancer starts in the gland cells in majority cases. It is also called adenocarcinoma. 

It is mostly a very slowly progressing disease. Many men die of old age, without ever knowing they had prostate cancer.



Several studies have indicated that perhaps about 80% of all men in their eighties had prostate cancer when they died, but nobody knew, not even the doctor. Prostate cancer starts with tiny alterations in the shape and size of the prostate gland cells - Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.

Signs and symptoms of cancer

During the early stages of prostate cancer, there are usually no symptoms. Most men at this stage find out they have prostate cancer after a routine checkup or blood test. 
Following are the symptoms of prostate cancer: 
  1. Urination more often
  2. Hard to start urinating
  3. Hard to keep urinating
  4. Blood in the urine
  5. Painful urination
  6. Painful ejaculation

Prostate cancer cost in India

The cost of prostate cancer treatment in India is estimated to be less than one-third of what it costs in developed countries, including the US, the UK and Canada. This is one of the main reasons why thousands of patients from across the world travel to India to get treated for prostate cancer.

For example, robotic prostate cancer surgery costs around $9000 in India. However, the same procedure may cost anywhere between $28,000 and $35,000 in the US.
