Prostate Cancer Awareness

1 3

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Approximately 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in the U.S.

Every two minutes, someone is diagnosed with prostate cancer.

2nd Leading Cause of Death in Men

Cancer is the second leading cause of death among men, with prostate cancer ranking as the most common cause of cancer-related death in men, after lung cancer.

In 2023, 1.4 million new cases of prostate cancer was reported globally.

35% Survival Rate

An early-stage prostate cancer diagnosis offers a 95-99% chance of survival—a beacon of hope. But in advanced stages, that chance drops to just 35%, turning awareness into the difference between life and loss.

African-American men are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer, even when the cancer is diagnosed in early stages

Why care...

  • Men

    Men should care because early detection of prostate cancer can significantly increase survival rates and improve quality of life. Additionally, advanced cancer treatment tends to be more invasive, come with more side effects, and render less effective.

  • Women

    Women should care because prostate cancer impacts the men in their lives—fathers, partners, and brothers—and often, women play a key role in supporting and caring for these men as they face health challenges.

  • Companies

    Companies should care because many men are organizational leaders, and early detection can help keep them in their roles, reduce work loss, prevent early retirement, and avoid employment loss and strain on the workplace.

  • Children

    Children, especially those with aging fathers, should care because prostate cancer becomes more common with age. Knowing the signs can help keep their fathers and male role models in their lives longer, sparing them from unnecessary pain and loss.

  • Churches

    Churches should care because people often turn to God during crises, and churches can play a vital role in offering support, spreading awareness, and helping save lives in their communities.

  • Communities

    Communities should care because the loss of individuals to prostate cancer means the loss of great minds, innovative plans, skilled professionals, and valuable community leaders, weakening society as a whole and leaving a void in the world.
