the prostate is part of the male genitals, it produces male hormones. As to whether or not cancer is present there is a simple blood test called a PSA that is a good indicatior. But as men age, their prostates enlarge, it's a normal and natural thing they have to deal with, doesn't necessarily mean cancer is present. There are surgeries that can help with an enlarged prostate.

A healthy human prostate is about the size of a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra, merging with the ejaculatory ducts. In males, the urethra has two separate functions; to carry urine from the bladder during urination, and to carry semen during ejaculation. Prostate cancer is a very common cancer among older men. Regular rectal exams along with a measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen are recommended for older men to determine if they have cancer.
