My husband's father had prostate cancer, and we've been discussing early detection. Someone recently made a confusing comment about women getting it too. I wanted to clarify if women can really get prostate cancer.

I totally understand how confusing and scary it is when you start reading about different cancers online. Please don't worry about this particular one. Women do not have a prostate gland, so they cannot get prostate cancer.
Biologically, women do not have a prostate gland, so they cannot get prostate cancer. However, if you are experiencing urinary discomfort or pelvic pain, you should definitely get a medical checkup to find the actual cause.

Hey, don't worry about this. Women don't have a prostate gland, so it is physically impossible for them to get prostate cancer. If you or a family member are feeling unwell, tell me the symptoms and we can look into seeing the right doctor.
