Hello,
It is not a sign of prostate cancer. Foul smelling semen is a sign of infective causes like urethritis.
You can go for a semen analysis to check for any signs of infection. If there is any signs of infection, antibiotics like ciprofloxacin may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
