Prostate cancer is a significant health concern, affecting a substantial number of men in the United States. This disease is more common in older men and those with a family history, with African American men facing higher risks. Symptoms can include frequent urination, blood in urine or semen, and pain.
While many diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it, survival rates vary. Non-metastasized cases show high survival rates, but advanced or metastasized cancer significantly reduces these chances. Treatment options range from surgery and radiation to hormone therapy and chemotherapy, underscoring the varied approaches to managing this illness.
