INTRODUCTION

Cancer is a worldwide health issue that can originate in nearly any organ or tissue when aberrant cells proliferate out of control and spread to other parts of the body. This process is called metastasizing and is the primary cause of cancer-related death. Worldwide, cancer is the second most common cause of death. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer found in men after lung cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. Prostate gland is in the male reproductive system. It just lies below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in the front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). It is about the size of a walnut. The prostate gland makes fluid that is part of the semen.

TYPES OF PROSTATE CANCER

1. Adenocarcinoma: Tumor arises from glandular tissue.
2. Leiomyosarcoma: Malignant tumor of smooth muscle cells of utreus, pelvic.
3. Rhabdomyosarcoma: Tumor arises from a cell called a "rhabdomyoblast", which is a primitive muscle cell.

CAUSES

The causes of the Prostate cancer are not yet clear, but following factors lead to prostate cancer:

• Mutations: All of the body's cells have inherited gene mutations that affect certain people. Prostate cancer may rise as a result of certain gene alterations. Prostate cancer may be linked to some inherited gene mutations. Men with Lynch syndrome, BRCA1 or BRCA2, PALB2, CHEK2 etc., may be to blame for raising the risk of prostate cancer.
• Genetics: Prostate cancer can be genetic. If prostate cancer is in the family generations then chances are more to arise.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

According to Ayurvedic theory, each individual has a unique combination of bioenergetics principles called Doshas. There are three doshas i.e. tridoshas and each represent distinct physiologic process: vata or air (principle of movement, nervous system), pitta or fire (principle of metabolism, venous system), kapha or water (principle of structure, arterial system). Samprapti (Pathogenesis) in Ayurveda is explained on the basis of Tridosha. Cancer originates due to metabolic crisis i.e. increases in aggravation of vata and decreases in kapha forces, when both interact with one another resulting in proliferation. All used conventional ideas, like the tridosha theory, the sapta dhatu (seven body tissues), and agni (metabolic strength) to frame the pathophysiology of cancer.
