Survival Rates Are High
Like other types of cancer, late-stage prostate cancer is a serious problem that can be very difficult to eradicate, and it’s the second-leading cause of cancer death among American men. On the other hand, when it’s caught in the early stages, this cancer often responds amazingly well to treatment: almost 100 percent of men who are diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer survive for more than five years.
The most important thing you can do for your prostate health is discuss your particular set of risks with your doctor (considering your genetics), and follow their prescribed guidelines for screening. Although no man is immune to the disease, improving your understanding, your lifestyle, and your self-monitoring can go far to keeping you free from prostate cancer.
