Follow me on:

How common is prostate cancer at a given age?  You might be surprised by the answer to this question.

For instance, did you know that the prevalence of prostate cancer amongst men between the ages of 71 and 80 is thought by some doctors to be as high as 70%?  Or, did you know that some men as early as their 20s are diagnosed with prostate cancer?

There are many more interesting facts about the rates of prostate cancer.
