Prostrate cancer ONLY affects the prostrate gland in Men. http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/Cancertype/Prostate/General/Theprostate The linktakes you to a page all about the prostrate and has information about prostrate cancer too.
10 :
Initially the prostate (walnut sized gland in the male body). From there it'll metastasize to pretty much anywhere, with predominant locations being the liver and lymph nodes. If this is a bio project... are you actually going to CITE yahoo answers, or just plagerize?
11 :
The clue is in the name.
12 :
Prostate cancer affects all reproductive organs of a man and can cause psychological damage.
13 :
Any. But mostly bone, bladder, colon & rectum and lungs. Affected by extension of tumor or metastasis.
14 :
The entire body is affect by cancer anywhere in the body. Cancer has terrific potential to spread through the body, which is why it must be detected and treated early. The prostate is a male gland about the size of a walnut. It is located below the urinary bladder in front of the bowel. The problem with prostate cancer is that it can occur with few or no symptoms. When the prostate is inflamed and swollen, it can cause a great deal of pain and interfere with the passing or urine. I would suggest that you google "prostate" and "prostate cancer" and read about it. There are hundreds of sites.
15 :
The organ named the PROSTATE. It sits between the penis and the bladder. Its the valve, for urinating. Also it emits the liquid that semen travels in.
16 :
It is the prostate alone. Unless it has spread (metastized)

Prostate Cancer Treatment and its Effects on Sexual Performance   Prostate cancer is common and affects a huge percentage of men around the world. Unfortunately erectile dysfunction is a very real side effect of such a radical surgery. But men can get real and very discrete solutions with online prescriptions such as Viagra. More than half a million Americans will die of cancer this year, and in men, prostate cancer is second only to lung cancer as a cause of death. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting about 16 percent of men. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, more than 186,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008, and more than 28,000 men will die from the disease. A new case occurs every two-and-a-half minutes, and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes. When it's caught early, prostate cancer can be stopped in a majority of men. But this disease, not to mention its treatment, can have a profound effect on a man's ability to perform sexually. Duration of erectile dysfunction following surgery If a man requires prostate surgery, or radical prostatectomy, for prostate cancer, his life, especially his sex life, may be changed forever. It is important to remember that surgery of any kind is a traumatic procedure and it takes time for the body to heal and recover. In the event of this type of surgery, the ability to achieve an erection will also take time, but many men will see an improvement in their erections over time, especially men who had no difficulty achieving a good erection before the surgery. In the first three months to a year following radical prostatectomy, most men will not be able to achieve a spontaneous erection, and will probably require an erectile dysfunction medication that can be bought through an online pharmacy, such as Viagra, to attain an erection. Radiation therapy Unlike radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, radiation therapy may cause problems slowly and over time. The main cause of erectile dysfunction following radiation is damage to the blood vessels supplying the nerves responsible for erections. Cryosurgery Cryosurgery, or the technique of using extreme cold to treat tumors in cancer, can have permanent negative effects. When the prostate gland is frozen the nerve bundles controlling erections can often be permanently damaged. Treating erectile dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment Viagra is an oral erectile dysfunction medication that works by promoting increased blood flow to produce an erection when the penis is manually stimulated, and can be obtained through a reputable online pharmacy. Viagra does not improve sex drive, only erections. Studies have shown that men with erectile dysfunction after prostatectomy respond well to Viagra if the nerve bundles on both sides of the prostate are intact. But Viagra is normally not effective if one or both nerve bundles have been damaged. Other possible solutions to helping a man regain his facility to produce an erection after prostate treatment include penile medication injections, use of a vacuum constriction or vacuum erection device (which is very costly), or a penile implant, a prosthetic device surgically implanted inside the penis. The bottom line is that a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer is recommended annually for men over 50, or even earlier for men with a family history of prostate cancer. Without our health we've got nothing, and nothing makes a man feel like less of a man than the inability to perform. So you need to take care of yourself, and know all the medical options that exist for you in today's modern world.
