Prostate cancer can be diagnosed by tests such as digital re**al examination, blood test, ultrasound, and biopsy.

Prostate cancer can be prevented by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the va**na. It is mostly caused by persistent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection.

It can also be cured if diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
It is transmitted through contact with infected blood or other body fluids.
