Early detection, through a yearly blood test and digital rectal exam, can increase survival rates. Men with a family history (a father, brother or uncle with the disease) are more than twice as likely to contract it than men without a family history. Black men are at highest risk for prostate cancer. A high-fat diet and obesity can increase your risk. More than three-quarters of prostate cancers are found in men aged 65 and older.
Many more men get a diagnosis of prostate cancer than die from it. -- Source: National Cancer Institute
