Ohio

This year approximately 164,690  men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the United States alone every year – that’s one man every 3.2 minutes and roughly 29,430 die this year from the disease – which is one man every 19 minutes.

In Ohio an estimated 5,810 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and an estimated 1,110 deaths will occur in 2018.

Men with relatives – father, brother, son – with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease.
