An expected 200,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. 35,000 of those men will die from it.
Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men, second only to skin cancer.
With early detection and new medical advances, these numbers can be dramatically reduced. The prostate is a male sex organ, that is about the size of a walnut. It surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to be released. This enlargement is not necessarily cancer. In fact, it may produce no symptoms.
