Although a man’s prostate will naturally grow as he ages, abnormally large growth advancements may be a sign of cancer. Several tests can be performed by a medical doctor to determine if cancer is present. A digital rectal exam involves a medical professional using an index finger to check the gland for abnormalities. An enlarged gland will feel smooth and firm while cancer will feel hard and lumpy. An ultrasound may also be done to determine the health of the prostate gland.
