The prostate is a gland that encircles a mans urethra like a doughnut. When it is enlarged- from either a tumor, or "benign prostate hypertrophy or BPH" (an enlarged prostate that is not cancerous) the most obvious symptom is difficulty completely emptying the bladder. He may get up through the night to pee, and might have trouble peeing even though he feels like he has to go. Without a further workup it is not possible to tell if it's cancer or BPH.

The only true symptoms of prostate cancer are and elevated PSA test. An enlarged prostate itself if not always cancer. That could be benign prostatic hypertrophy aka an enlarged prostate. My dad has prostate cancer plus I am a nurse so if you have more questions just ask.
