The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut and is located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men. Cancer can develop from the gland cells in the prostate. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer found in American men, just behind skin cancer. Approximately one in six men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime.
The Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center offers advanced treatment options for your type of cancer. With the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System, urologists can perform a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted prostatectomy for men with prostate cancer.
