    Prostate cancer develops from the mutation of normal prostate gland cells in the peripheral zone, leading cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors that compress the urethra, causing urinary symptoms. The cancer then spreads to surrounding tissues and may metastasize to other organs, with later stage symptoms including deep pain in the lower abdomen, back, and pelvis.
