Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer type among men, second only to skin cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death.

The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 238,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013 and nearly 30,000 men will die from the disease.
