Prostate cancer is very scary thing and if you are a male over the age of 38 it should be on your radar.  Prostate cancer is the most common form of non skin cancer in North America, it affects 1 in every 6 men. Age can be directly linked to the likelihood of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Although only 1 in every 10,000 men under age of 40 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, this rate rapidly rises to 1 in every 38 men for the ages of 40 to 59, and again 1 in  every 15 for ages of 60 to 69. In fact, greater than 65% of all prostate cancer is diagnosed in men above the age of 65.
