Prostate cancer is a cancer of the small gland located between the penis and the bladder. This gland is called the prostate. Cancer then advances to the surrounding lymph nodes and other areas of the body.

Diagnosing Prostate cancer at the fourth stage is relatively uncommon. It is usually detected in earlier stages when it has not spread to other parts of the body. Treatments might shrink or slow the spread of cancer, giving some relief from symptoms and even extend a patient’s life, but at stage 4, prostate cancer isn’t completely curable.
