Patients with Prostate Cancer
About one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, making it the most common male cancer in the United States.
In fact, approximately 270,000 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022. Worldwide, prostate cancer is also one of the most prevalent cancers, accounting for roughly 1.4 million men diagnosed in 2020.
Although the diagnosis can carry uncertainty, there are many resources to help patients and caregivers navigate treatment and living with the disease. If you’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer, your physician is the best person to guide your treatment and care.
