A Critical Health Concern for Men

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and education about this disease.

Impact on Veterans and Active Duty Military

Veterans and active duty military personnel are diagnosed with prostate cancer at rates twice as high as the general population. This alarming statistic underscores the importance of regular screenings and medical attention for these groups.

Disparities in Diagnosis and Mortality

African American men face even more significant challenges, being 70% more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to other demographics, and they are twice as likely to die from the disease.

Projected Statistics for 2025

In the year 2025, it is projected that:

  • 313,780 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
  • Over 35,000 men will lose their lives to this disease.

Living with Prostate Cancer

Currently, more than 3 million men are living with prostate cancer in America. This statistic emphasizes the need for ongoing support and treatment options for those affected.
