The World Health Organization reports that roughly one in five people across the globe develop cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer poses a unique threat to men. The WHO notes prostate cancer is the second most commonly occurring cancer in men, and recognition of that threat may compel men to learn more about the disease. Data does not tell the whole story of prostate cancer, but some fast facts about the disease can serve as a springboard to learning more about it and what, if anything, can be done to prevent it.
