Prostate Cancer – One in Six Men Get It!

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, other than skin cancer, found in American men. Moreover, while lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men, prostate cancer comes in second. Should that concern you? It depends on whether you are feeling lucky or not.

Feeling Lucky?

Prostate cancer is much more common than many men think it is. The most recent studies show that one man in six will get prostate cancer at some point in his lifetime. Of course, it may not be you, but then again, it may.

The next time you are having lunch with five other men, or watching Monday night football with five friends, look around you. One man in six will get prostate cancer. Still feeling lucky?

Prostate cancer not only attacks one out of six men, but it also kills many of them. The same studies mentioned above show that one of every thirty-five men in the United States will die of prostate cancer.

Hope is Not Gone

The good news is that the U.S. death rate for prostate cancer is decreasing. More than two million men in the United States who have had prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.

Prostate cancer is being diagnosed earlier than it was in the past.
