Should I Be Tested For Prostate Cancer?

The prostate gland is a walnut-shaped gland that lies below the bladder in men. Cancer in the prostate is the
result of abnormal growth which may go on to invade surrounding or distant organs.

Prostate cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in Singaporean men* and the risk increases with age. About 1 in 25 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime in Singapore*. Death from prostate cancer is less common as only some cases will progress to advanced disease.
