Cancer
of the prostate is the most common cancer among
American men. Over 230,000 cases are diagnosed each
year. This means that one in six men over age 50
will develop prostate cancer. The likelihood of
getting prostate cancer is higher in men over 65,
men with a blood relative that had prostate cancer,
and in African American men.

| When a man learns that he has prostate
cancer, he, his family and loved ones have many
questions about his cancer and how the disease is
treated. They find that their distress eases as
they gain an understanding about the disease. |
