More than 250,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, the second most common cancer in American men. Family history, African American men, 9/11 First Responders, exposure to Agent Orange, lifestyle, dietary habits and smoking increase the chances of developing prostate cancer. Early detection is important.
