Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men sometime after 50 years and became the second biggest killer among the cancers that attack men in the United States. More than half of men over 70 years there have got it, said Dr. Stanisic. Prostate cancer is rare in men under 45 years unless any of your family that way. The disease is usually curable when detected in early stages, said Dr. Stanisic.
Unfortunately this cancer often grows silently in the prostate gland without any symptoms until after spread to the bone and surrounding tissue. That's why is important for men aged 50 years to undergo a digital rectal test that allows doctors found a lump or enlargement of the prostate, and prostate-specific antigen blood test, blood test to detect the type of protein that comes out when there is a tumor of the prostate.
