Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer accounts for over a quater of all
cancers in men. The prostate is a small male sex gland located below the bladder, it
produces fluid that becomes semen. Prostate cancer occurs mostly in older men, it is rare
before the age of 50, and the risk increases with age. There has been an increase in the
incidence of prostate cancer since the early 1980's, most likely due to an increased use
of screening using the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. However, the role as
screening for prostate cancer remains controversial. World-wide about 395,000 men are
diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.
