The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). It is about the size of a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of the semen.
Experts from the UK specifically those based in the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute and the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) are suggesting that the protein found in urine could be a concrete and strong indicator of the risk one has in terms of contracting prostate cancer.
A report from researchers indicates four genes identified appear to have a critical influence in determining whether the early stages of prostate cancer will develop into an aggressive and lethal disease.
Scientists have made a breakthrough in the battle against prostate cancer. They have pinpointed a protein that stops cancerous cells from growing and even drives them to kill themselves.
