[Grumpy Old Fart]

Yes. It is a slow and painfull process. I have prostate cancer. It is swollen to the size of a grapefruit. I can't even sit down. Feels like I am sitting on a baseball.

[Rico]

Like previous answers, you can die from any cancer if the cancer spreads to other organs.

[Loren S]

as with any other cancers prostate cancer, untreated is deadly.

[mexican leona]

of course you can. if untreated the cancer can travel thru your body and cause you more damage then what is doing so far. get yourself to your doctor and have them check it out. they should be able to referred you to a specialist.

[Chipmonk]

Any kind of cancer...

[kNOTaLIAwyR]

Cancer is a term for all different types of deseases which may (or may not) lead to death. All cancers are not the same, of course, sco some are more severe than others. I only post that because some of the above answers here, tend to state, a blatent 'yes' to the word cancer. I will tell you what I know as a layman...My uncle had/has prostate cancer. At that time, I remember telling him how sorry I was to hear it (because I thought 'cancer' meant death.He told me that someday, just about every guy gets prostate cancer, and there's not much we can do to avoid it.That was about 14 years ago, and he's been doing fine at family functions, and I forgot he even had it until I read your question.That's all I know about it.

[Kai]

Yes. 15 in every 1,000 men die during the first 15 years after diagnosis of prostate cancer

[irishlass]

Yes prostate cancer can be fatal. However, it is one of the most treatable cancers in men you the chances of surviving if caught early are very good. men can monitor their prostate by getting check ups and taking pregnancy tests if it comes out positive you are not pregnant you may have a bigger problem!!!

You can die, yes...but depending on how far the cancer has progressed before treatment has begun makes a difference. Go to www.cancer.org (Cancer Society) and type in "prostate cancer" in the search box and see what they have. It's very informative. Also, from a commercial I saw this morning, from the Cancer Society, you may even get treatment cheaper going through them than you would your physician. Check it out.

[nagster123]

Yes, but it depends, for the most part, on the disease stage at diagnosis, also on how aggressive the tumor is, normally PC progress very slowley. Also depend on the patient's age, if he is old with early stage disease chances are he is going to die from other causes...I am not a doctor but I work in the oncology field

[Bettee62]

Yes, But Treatment Truly Helps.
