It is unlikely with the picture you have given for this to be cancer, but one needs to be sure. Enlargement of the prostate and even white spots are normal with increasing age. Kindly get a serum PSA done and if it is normal then dont worry. If it is raised then you need to get a biopsy done from the prostate to confirm or rule out cancer.
