In fact, unless we change courses, one in five men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime. That is 37,000 men this year that will be killed by prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer affects more men than any other cancer except skin cancer.
And it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. We are here today to talk about what the current level of knowledge is in preventing prostate cancer. We will also talk about current treatment options, and research that will develop better and more compassionate treatments for men to choose. It is a travesty for a man to be forced to choose to save his life by choosing a treatment that has a good chance of leaving him impotent or incontinent for the rest of that life. I am pleased to have three colleagues and friends joining us for the first panel today.
