Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enlargement of the prostate gland, or benign prostatic hypertrophy, commonly occurs in men over age 50 and is not typically associated with cancer. Fibrocystic disease and testicular cancer do not involve the prostate gland, and carcinoma is a general term for cancer that can occur in various tissues/organs, including the prostate. Prostate cancer is a separate condition from benign prostatic hypertrophy, although they can have similar symptoms.
