In 2007 the American Cancer Society estimates that 218,890 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 27,050 will die from the disease. Regular screening tests can help detect prostate cancer in its earliest most treatable stage. Men should be screened regularly for prostate cancer beginning at age 50. See HCI Screening Guidelines for Prostate Cancer to find out more about prostate cancer screening methods and schedules. For men and their families who are dealing with the disease, we have provided multiple links to information about prostate cancer treatment and coping.
