Prostate Cancer
- Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas and are slow growing.
- Risk factors for prostate cancer include family history, diets high in red meats and dairy, obesity, and African ancestry.
- Around 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Around 60% of prostate cancer diagnoses are in men 65 and older.
- Symptoms include weak or interrupted urine flow, sudden urges to urinate, trouble emptying the bladder completely, and burning or pain during urination.
- In 2020, around 192,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and around 33,300 will die from the disease. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in men, right after lung cancer.
- Prostate cancer screening tests such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests can result in diagnosis of about 80% of men with the disease. This leads to earlier and more effective treatment.
- If detected early, prostate cancer is highly treatable and has a high survival rate of nearly 100%.
- Over 900 prostate cancer clinical trials are currently active in the United States! New treatments, screening tools, and preventative measures are coming.
