Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality in males [1]. Ninety-five percent of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed between 45 and 89 years of age (mean: 72 years). The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age, and the risk of developing it is 1/10,000 before 40 years of age, 1/103 between 40 and 59 years of age, 1/8 between 60 and 79 years of age [2]. The risk of prostate cancer in a man over the course of his lifetime is nearly 10%.
