My understanding of prostate cancer is it is detected or located on the outside of the capsule. Not inside the capsule where the Holep was performed.
Believe it or not you can get prostate cancer without a prostate
If it is small enough that they had an issue with detecting it. I would hope that it could be taken care of fairly easy.
Healthy liver reduces chances of cancer. That's the takeaway I got from this video.

You bet I can believe you can get prostate cancer without a prostate. The surgeon mentioned that out of my X number of gram-size prostate that there was a 0.5 millimeter tumor, I wondered how if it was morcellated they knew where it was and if the process or morcellating it didn't break it up to smaller pieces. It was the prostate they analyzed, it wasn't the outside.
Even if it didn't show up on an MRI, that doesn't mean that a part of it's cells couldn't run through my vascular system and hang out at a local organ.
