Prostate Cancer

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.
