Abstract
Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. In 2002, an estimated 189,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and almost 30,000 men will lose their lives to the disease. Prostate cancer frequently causes few, if any, symptoms in its early stages. Yet, prostate cancer is the most commonly occurring non–skin cancer in men, affecting one man in every six during his lifetime. More men will be at risk as the 76 million members of the baby boom generation continue to age.
