Prostate Cancer is the most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American men. For reasons not fully known, black American men are at greater risk than white American men. The cause of Prostate Cancer is unknown. The risk factors for prostate cancer include advancing age, genetics, hormonal influences and such environmental factors as toxins, chemicals and industrial products. The chances of developing prostate cancer increase with age, and therefore it is rarely diagnosed in men under age 50, but is common in men older than age 80. The average age is 72.
Urology of Indiana is the leader in daVinci robotic prostatectomies in Indiana and one of the leaders in the country. If you have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and are considering surgery, please contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our robotics surgeons.
We encourage men age 50 and over to schedule their annual prostate examin and PSA blood test. As with all forms of cancer, early detection is the key to successful treatment.
