Did you Know?
Prostate Cancer is the most common non-skin cancer, affecting 1 in 6 men. A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancers combined. A man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
In 2009, more than 192,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 27,000 men will die from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.7 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes.
At Risk
As men increase in age, their risk of developing cancer increases exponentially. Although only 1 in 10,000 under age 40 will be diagnosed, the rate shoots up to 1 in 39 for ages 40 to 59, and 1 in 14 for ages 60 to 69. More than 65% of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65.
The Good News
Today, if detected early, the cure rate for prostate cancer is very high—nearly 100% of men diagnosed and treated at local and regional stage will be disease-free after five years. In the 1970s, only 67% of men diagnosed with local or regional prostate cancer were disease-free after five years.
