Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men, second only to heart disease. Prostate cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer in the U.S. In 2008, more than 186,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 28,000 men died from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.5 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes. As the population ages, these numbers will increase every year.
