Abstract
Global cancer incidence rates in 2005 show that prostate cancer has become the third most common cancer in men. In most industrial countries, prostate cancer incidence rates are increasing, whereas mortality rates are declining. The American Cancer Society estimates that 27,050 men in the United States will die of prostate cancer in 2007. Prostate cancer accounts for about 9% of cancer-related deaths in men.
Prostate cancer is uncommonly seen in men younger than 50 years; the incidence rises rapidly with each decade thereafter. Men with a family history of prostate cancer are at an increased risk of the disease compared with men without this history. Other potential risk factors besides age, race, and family history of prostate cancer include alcohol consumption, vitamin or mineral interactions, and other dietary habits.
