Prostate cancer forms in a mans prostate, a small glad in the base of the penis that produces the fluids necessary to move sperm. Prostate cancer is an especially problematic
cancer because men sometimes avoid treatment, though symptoms may be present and problematic. The rate of prostate cancer in this country appears
to be growing, and the risk constitutes a significant problem for men. "The risk of prostate cancer is 1 in 6 and the risk of death due to metastatic prostate
cancer is 1 in 30" (Nelson, De Marzo, & Isaccs, 2003, para. 1). While most cases of prostate cancer stay within the prostate, occasionally the cancer cells will metastasize to
