Early Detection, Constant Communication Key in Dealing with Prostate Cancers
- Last month, medical professionals identified that former President Joe Biden has a severe type of prostate cancer, bringing widespread attention to this common cancer among men.
- This diagnosis follows a rising trend since 2014, with incidence rates increasing 3% annually and nearly 314,000 new prostate cancer cases expected in 2025.
- Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men, with approximately 12.5% of men in the United States expected to develop the disease during their lifetime, and it is projected to result in more than 35,700 deaths this year alone.
- Early diagnosis of prostate cancer greatly improves survival rates, with over 99% of patients living at least five years when the disease remains confined to the prostate or nearby areas, whereas survival falls to 37% once the cancer spreads, underscoring the value of regular screening.
- Experts emphasize consistent PSA testing and personalized discussions between men and their doctors to ensure early detection and manage prostate cancer effectively.
