Prostate Cancer Analysis

The average age at diagnosis of prostate cancer is 73 years. The age-adjusted death rate from prostate cancer has not changed appreciably in 35 years. The prevalence of prostate cancer is 30% in men over the age of 50. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetimes.

Physical exam. Digital rectal exam is used to assess the prostate nodule for extension beyond prostate edge, firmness, fixation, or induration.
