Hello
Thanks for writing to us
1.3 cm size nodule in prostate doesn't confirm cancer.
Important thing is its location and other findings like PSA level,biopsy finding etc.Peripheral zone is more prone for malignancy.
FNAC of lesion will confirm its nature.So,don't get scared and let the detail investigation done.
Hope i have answered your query.
