So the prevalence of prostate cancer in the United States. According to a study in 2020, there are approximately about 3,300,000 men living with prostate cancer. In 2020, 83% of prostate cancer are detected and confined to the prostate and the incidence in the population is 112 per 100,000 male. The good news is that once you're diagnosed with prostate, the five year survival rate is 99% and depending on the stage of the cancer of the prostate, it's either you get radiation, other surgery, or radical prostatectomy when the entire prostate gland is taken out.
