Prostate cancer cell, SEM C013 / 5011
Prostate cancer cell, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The uneven surface of this cell is typical of cancer cells. Such cells can clump to form tumours, which often invade and destroy surrounding tissues. The prostate is a small gland found in men just below the bladder, surrounding the urethra, the tube urine passes through. It produces a fluid that forms part of the semen. Prostate cancer is most prevalent in men over 50 years of age. Treatment is with hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or surgical removal of the prostate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a prostate cancer cell, providing a close-up view of its intricate details. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the characteristic uneven surface that is often observed in cancer cells. These abnormal cells have the ability to clump together, forming tumours that can invade and destroy surrounding tissues. The prostate gland, located just below the bladder in men and surrounding the urethra, plays a crucial role in reproductive function by producing fluid that contributes to semen. However, this vital organ is susceptible to developing cancer, particularly among men over 50 years of age. Prostate cancer treatment options include hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or surgical removal of the prostate itself. Early detection and intervention are essential for improving outcomes and increasing survival rates. This visually striking image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex nature of this disease. It highlights the importance of ongoing research and medical advancements aimed at understanding and combating prostate cancer effectively. Captured using cutting-edge technology such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), this photograph not only offers valuable insights into cellular biology but also serves as an educational tool for professionals working in fields like cytology, histopathology, oncology, and reproductive pathology.
