Can females get prostate cancer?

1 Answer

No - women don't have a prostate and so therefore can't get prostate cancer.

Explanation:

The prostate is an organ in male mammals. The urethra of a male mammal runs through the prostate, which nourishes and protects sperm as they make their way from the testes to the penis.

Since women and female mammals in general don't have a prostate, they can't get prostate cancer.
