This is a list of notable individuals who died from or were diagnosed with cancer of prostate . These diagnoses and deaths from this form of cancer have been confirmed by public information and reports.
Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that is typically slow-growing and originates in or on the prostate, a male reproductive gland that surrounds the urethra in proximity of the bladder and rectum. This is a result of malignant cells forming and multiplying at the prostate, which can then spread or metastasize to other organs in the body. [1] The most common areas that cancer metastasizes is the lymph nodes and bones. [2] [3] According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in males after skin cancer. [4] Many cases of prostate cancer present little to no symptoms in early stages. [5] Symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination and ejaculation, urination and ejaculation difficulties, blood in urine and/or semen, and erectile dysfunction. [6] [7]
