That is where The Prostate Cancer Foundation comes in. PCF was founded to give men and their families hope. They set out to harness more resources—both financial and human—to accelerate the development of new breakthroughs and find a cure as quickly as possible.
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and is a leading cause of cancer death in men, second only to lung cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting 1 in 6 men.
In 2010, nearly 218,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 32,000 men will die from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.4 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 16.4 minutes.
It is estimated that there are more than 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer. Staying informed with the latest news on prevention and screening is an important step in reducing your risk of developing prostate cancer. And, should a diagnosis occur, access to current, in-depth treatment information can help you find the best care.
A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancers combined. In fact, a man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
