What Causes Prostate Cancer?
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown.

Prostate cells change their DNA, which is how doctors know prostate cancer starts. The instructions that inform a cell what to do are encoded in its DNA. The adjustments instruct the cells to multiply and develop faster than usual. When other cells perish, the aberrant cells continue to exist.

The aberrant cells build up into a tumor, which can spread to invade adjacent tissue. Over time, certain aberrant cells may separate and “metastasize” which means spread to other areas of the body as well.
