About Prostate Cancer  

 More than 220,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the USA this year, and more than 31,000 will die of the disease.  Because early prostate cancer is seldom signaled by any symptoms, detection is extremely difficult without testing.

Did you know? 

Prostate cancer: 
    •  is the single most common form of solid tumor
       in humans
    •  is newly diagnosed every 2.6 minutes
    •  is present in more than 9 million men
    •  kills one man every 13 minutes
    •  afflicts one in six men in their lifetime
    •  is second only to lung cancer in annual cancer
       deaths of U.S. men
    •  is high risk for black men – they have incidence
       and mortality rates as much as 50% higher than
       other racial or ethnic groups
    •  strikes as many men (and causes almost as
       many deaths annually) as breast cancer does in
       women, but lacks the national awareness and
       research funding breast cancer currently receives
    •  is nearly 100 percent survivable if detected early
    •  annual testing (PSA and DRE) is recommended
        by Us TOO for all men 45+ years old (and men
        at greater risk beginning at 40)
