AB  - Prostate  cancer  is  usually  an  adenocarcinoma  that  initially  affects  the  outer  prostate  gland  and  then  spreads  inward  with  metastases  in  advanced  stages.  Risk  factors  include  age  greater  than  50  years,  African  American  race,  and  a  family  history  of  prostate  cancer.  Common  treatments  for  prostate  cancer  include  radical  prostatectomy  and  radiation.  Individuals  in  the  advance  stages  of  the  disease  may  also  receive  androgen  deprivation  therapy  to  inhibit  testosterone  production.  Individuals  with  prostate  cancer  may  receive  treatments  that  depress  testosterone  production,  resulting  in  decreased  physical  function  and  fatigue.1,2,3  Older  men  with  early  stages  of  the  disease  may  not  need  treatment  for  this  condition.3  Those  with  advanced  stages  of  this  cancer  or  have  undergone  surgical  procedures  may  experience  back  and  pelvic  pains  with  standing  and  walking  activities,  which  may  limit  their  daily  activity  levels.
