About Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death in males in the United States. Each year 218,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. That’s one new case every 2.5 minutes.
In addition, 1 man out of every 9 men will have prostate cancer in his lifetime.
The good news is that according to ZERO, the survival rate is high if you catch cancer early.
So how do you get a diagnosis? The best way to find out if you have prostate cancer is to see your doctor for regular screenings.
