Prostate Cancer Kills 2,700 Australian Men Each Year
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer and the second highest cause of cancer mortality in men in Western society. It is a heterogeneous disease that may be indolent and not require intervention, may remain localized to the prostate gland but be clinically significant (>95%, 5-year survival) or may be invasive and metastatic, primarily to lymph nodes and bone (5% 5-year survival). All men over the age of 45 should be screened for prostate cancer at least yearly.
Every year, 2,700 men die from Prostate Cancer in Australia. To find out more click here.
