In its early stages, the disease is often completely asymptomatic. <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"259\">Urinary symptoms<\/b> generally appear only when the cancer is more advanced and can also stem from benign conditions, such as <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"381\">benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)<\/b>.
