Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.
Most men who have prostate cancer never have symptoms. Because it usually grows very slowly, they will die from something else without knowing they had prostate cancer. About 1 in every 3 men from 50-70 years old have cancer cells in their prostate. Most men over 80 have cancer cells in their prostate. About 3 in 100 men in the United States will die of prostate cancer.
