About Disease

Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that exclusively affects men, developing in the prostate gland—a small organ located below the urinary bladder and in front of the rectum. This gland surrounds the urethra. The prostate plays a crucial role in male reproduction by producing a milky fluid that combines with sperm during ejaculation. While older men often experience benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous condition causing urinary issues like frequency and poor flow, prostate cancer occurs when normal cells in the prostate transform and multiply uncontrollably.

Best Urologist For Prostate Cancer

Dr Dharmender Aggarwal, recognized as one of the best robotic surgeons for prostate cancer, specializes in the latest robotic techniques, including robotic radical prostatectomy, to provide optimal care and outcomes.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located below the urinary bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra and contributes to seminal fluid production. Prostate cancer occurs when the cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It primarily affects men over the age of 50 and is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide.
