Cancer has become one of the worst possible diseases in today’s world; it affects our body at a cellular level, making our body incapable of defending itself. This disease is so deadly because unlike most sicknesses this sickness converts our own cells into cancer cells that begin proliferating and destroying our body from the inside out. Unfortunately cancer has become so common that there is a cancer for each gender, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Prostate cancer has become the most common disease among men; this deadly disease will soon overcome an entire gender if this country does not embrace the cures scientists are starting to develop. This specific disease is quickly becoming one of the most common sicknesses in the world and to make things worse there are only five known factors that contribute to prostate cancer and the worst part is we only have control over one of those risk factors. In present day America prostate cancer is believed to affect one in every six males throughout the United States. These statistics are far from good and we still have not developed a cure for this disease. Think about this; in 2013 more than 238,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and out of these men, 30,000 of them will die from this disease. Unfortunately, a new case occurs every 2.2 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 17.5 minutes; it is estimated that there are more than 2 million Americans living with prostate cancer at this very moment. A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma, and kidney cancers combined. In actuality a man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Prostate cancer has proven to be different from other diseases, and this fact is proven through the many risk factors that apply to every male
