    Glossary Prostate Cancer Cells

    abnormal cells originating in the prostate gland, potentially spreading

    Prostate cancer cells are abnormal cells that originate in the prostate gland, a small gland in men that produces seminal fluid. These cells can grow uncontrollably and form tumors, potentially spreading to other parts of the body (metastasis). Also known as prostate carcinoma cells, they are the focus of various diagnostic and treatment strategies in oncology.
