"Cancer of the female prostate is rare. One older study estimates that cancer of the Skene's glands accounts for 0.003 percent of cancers in the female genital-urinary tract. It's also possible that cancer of nearby organs, like the urethra, can originate in the Skene's glands."

Answer: True, prostate cancer can still occur in females, though extremely rare.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Skene glands are often referred to as the female prostate because they produce the same hormones as the male prostate. Both are believed to play a role in the female and male reproductive systems. Though male prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, female prostate cancer is rare.
