Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men, particularly in older men.
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men, behind skin cancer.
In the United States, about 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
In 2021, it is estimated that there will be about 248,530 new cases of prostate cancer and about 34,130 deaths from prostate cancer.
However, it is important to note that prostate cancer is highly treatable, and the survival rate is high when it is detected early.
