Information for Men with Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in California men. An estimated 29,600 California men will be diagnosed in 2025, a higher estimate than previous years.

Age, race and family history all affect a man's level of risk for diagnosis. Early detection and treatment greatly increase your chance of long-term survival, especially when treatment begins at an early state of the disease.
