Studies have represented also, that:

New cases of prostate cancer appear every 2.4 minutes.

Non-smoking men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than other cancer forms, like colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancer.

Probability to be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the men is 35% more than by the women to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Small prostate cancer can start developing during a man’s 30s, and the appearance rate increases by around 10% every 10 years of life (50% in 50s, 60% in 60s, etc.).

  Despite being frequent, many prostate cancers are relatively innocuous: Many men carry undetected prostate cancers inside their bodies which will remain asymptomatic and will not shorten their lifespan.   Unfortunately men are not always comprehensively informed about the severe “collateral damage” of this treatment which is appropriately called “radical”: After prostatectomy 70 % of all men are impotent (not able to have an erection anymore) and 10 – 50 % incontinent (not able hold their urine).
