What is Prostate Cancer
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in men that is part of the reproductive system.
The prostate sits low in the pelvis, below the bladder, in front of the rectum and surrounds the urethra. The prostate makes seminal fluid, the liquid in sperm that protects, supports and helps transport sperm.
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men.
- Nearly 26,730 men will die needlessly of prostate cancer.
- 1 in 7 American men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime.
- 1 in 36 men will die of this disease.
- Prostate cancer is nearly 100% survivable if caught early.
