Prostate Cancer Care
Understanding your prostate cancer risks.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and a leading cause of death. It primarily affects men ages 40 to 60 and remains a major concern despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. Early detection greatly improves outcomes. Though one in six men will be diagnosed, only about three percent die from the disease, thanks to effective screening and therapies. It remains a significant concern for older men.
