Prostate Cancer Risk Factors and Screening Basics
Prostate cancer risk rises with age and African-American descent. Two in three cases occur in men over 65, and African-American men face a 60 percent higher diagnosis rate than white men. About 220000 cases and 32000 deaths occurred last year. PSA blood tests and digital rectal exams screen the disease. The American Cancer Society suggests men discuss risks and screening with doctors around age 50 or earlier if risk is higher. Prostatenet.com provides more information.
