This transition to decreased physical activity, burgeoning overweight/obesity levels, changing nutritional habits, and greater consumption of tobacco, leads to an increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases. There are indications that these changes may also lead to an increase in prostate cancer in...
A malignant prostate is also known as prostate cancer. A malignant prostate occurs when the cells of the prostate gland are infected by mutant germs or bacteria. This abnormality, then, leads to an increase in the number of prostate gland cells. With time, this cancer can also spread to oth...
