Prostate cancer. Coloured freeze-fracture scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cancer of the prostate gland. This is the inside of an acinus (glandular duct) lined with cancer cells (yellow). Prostate cancer is one of the most common male cancers,usually affecting the elderly. Some enlargement of the prostate with age is considered normal. However,the growth of a tumour can obstruct the neck of the bladder,impairing urination and leading to bladder problems. Treatment involves surgery to remove the prostate gland or radiotherapy.
