My father's urologist explained that most prostate cancers are indeed very slow-growing. In fact, many older men die of other natural causes before this cancer even becomes a serious threat to their life.
Yes, it generally grows very slowly. If your doctor allows, keeping up with active daily walking and light exercise can help maintain overall health and keep your body strong during monitoring.

Haan na, it grows very slowly in most uncles I know. There is no need to take immediate tension, just follow what the doctor says step-by-step.
While it is mostly slow-growing, there are aggressive types too that can cause complications if ignored. Please consult a qualified oncologist to make sure you have the correct diagnosis.
I am new to this and trying to learn for my father. Is it true that some types can grow fast too, or is it always very slow?
I've been living with a low-grade diagnosis for 6 years now under active surveillance. It grows so slowly that my doctors haven't even started aggressive treatment yet, just regular monitoring.
