Description

Prostate cancer is the deadliest cancer in men next to lung cancer. This year in the USA alone, prostate cancer is expected to cause the death of 29,900 men. These men will have lived for years with advancing illness, which may have caused them significant pain and suffering. Hundreds of thousands of other men live with side effects of prostate cancer treatments and with concern about recurrence.

In the USA today, nearly nine in ten prostate cancers (86 percent) will be diagnosed at a localized stage, when the five-year relative survival rate is 100 percent.

How to make sense of these statistics? Although incidence rates have continued to increase, cancer death rates for men in the USA have decreased by 1.5 percent per year since 1992. Death rates continued to drop for the top three cancer killers in men (cancers of the lung, colon and prostate). As men have come to learn more about prostate cancer and to seek early detection and quality care, the better their chance of surviving this disease.
