Prostate cancer. Computer artwork of a cancerous tumour in the prostate gland (right) and close-up view of prostate cancer cells (left). The urethra can be seen running down the centre of the prostate, from the bladder (top). Prostate cancer is one of the most common male cancers, usually affecting the elderly. The growth of a prostate tumour can obstruct the neck of the bladder, impairing urination. However, it is a slow-growing cancer. If diagnosed, treatment involves surgery to remove the prostate gland, or radiotherapy. Recent researches show the link between prostate cancer and infection of viruses, such as human papilloma virus (HPV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV), therefore, one of promising treatment methods is also the use of antiviral agents.
