Each year, about 180,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer. As you get older, the risk of developing this cancer steadily increases. By age 75, half to three-fourths of all men show some cancerous signs in their prostate glands.
Because prostate cancer is slow growing, many cases will pose no serious threat to health. But others will require active treatment.
That's why all men ages 50 and over should receive screenings for prostate cancer.
If a screening indicates that you may have prostate cancer, here's the good news: this form of cancer is highly treatable, and you have a number of options available - from watchful waiting, hormonal therapy (androgen ablation), radiation therapy, cryotherapy and surgery.
