Prostate Cancer Resurgence

It is now known that prostate cancer diagnoses is more prevalent than breast cancer. This extract is from -
Prostate cancer now number one and rising - Adam Cresswell, Health editor 28 June 2007

'There is a renewed surge in testing for prostate cancer which is partly driving the increase in diagnoses. Tests for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) - a marker in blood that usually rises when a prostate cancer is growing - shot up by 42 per cent, from 492,147 tests in 2001-02 to 698,828 in 2005-06, partly driven by greater awareness and by the ageing male population.

Prostate cancer is still behind lung cancer as the biggest cause of cancer deaths in men. In 2003, 4506 men died of lung-related cancers and 2837 died from prostate cancer.

The most commonly diagnosed cancers in men and women after prostate and colorectal cancer are of the breast (11,889 new cases in 2003), melanoma (9524) and lung cancer (8249).'
