• Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in males and the second leading cause of male cancer deaths.
• It is most common among men between the ages of 60 and 80.
• Known risk factors for prostate cancer include age, race and family history.
• The early stages of prostate cancer generally show no symptoms.
• When the tumor becomes more advanced, patients may experience a weak urinary stream, the inability to urinate, interruption of urinary stream, frequent urination (especially at night), pain or burning during urination, and blood in the urine. It is important, however to remember that these symptoms are not specific and may be a result of benign prostatic enlargement.
