Prostate 
Cancer: 
Introduction
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located behind the base of a man’s penis, 
in front of the rectum, and below the bladder. It surrounds the urethra, the tube-
like channel that carries urine and semen through the penis. The prostate's main 
function is to make seminal fluid, the liquid in semen that protects, supports, and 
helps transport sperm.
As men get older, the prostate continues to enlarge over time. 
This can lead to a condition called benign prostatic 
hypertrophy (BPH), which is when the urethra becomes 
blocked. BPH is a common condition associated with growing 
older, and it can cause symptoms similar to those of prostate 
cancer. BPH has not been associated with a greater risk of 
having prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer: Statistic
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, except for skin 
cancer. This year, an estimated 174,650 men in the United States will be 
diagnosed with prostate cancer. Around 60% of cases are diagnosed in men 
over 65. The average age of diagnosis is 66 years. The disease rarely occurs 
before age 40.
Most prostate cancers (90%) are found when the disease is in only the prostate 
and nearby organs. This is referred to as the local or regional stage.
The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of men live at least 5 years after 
the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival 
rate for most men with local or regional prostate cancer is nearly 100%. For 
men diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, 
the 5-year survival rate is 30%.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the 
United States. It is estimated that 31,620 deaths from this disease will occur 
this year. However, the death rate has dropped by more than half from 1993 to 
2016. A man’s individual survival depends on the type of prostate cancer and 
the stage of the disease. There are almost 3 million survivors of prostate cancer 
in the United St a tes today.
