Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second most common men’s cancer after skin cancer and is the second leading killer cancer of men. The disease can often go undetected unless men undergo regular screenings. Prostate cancer usually affects men over the age of 40 and the risk of developing the disease increases with age. African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men.

Symptoms include problems with urination, limb weakness, erectile dysfunction, and pelvic pain. Treatment depends on the type of prostate cancer and the stage it’s at. Some prostate cancers are slow-growing and watchful waiting is the preferred treatment, while others will require surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
