How does Prostate Cancer effect men?
Prostate cancer varies by race, country of origin, and other factors, but, overall, one of every six men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. As of 2009, more than two million men in this country were estimated to be living with prostate cancer, and the National Cancer Institute estimates that nearly 200,000 men were diagnosed in the U.S. alone in 2009.
