Stand Up for Their Prostate and Stand up for Yourself

In 2020 3,890 people were diagnosed with prostate cancer, making it the most common cancer in Ireland excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer.

Worldwide, more than 1 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and more than 300,000 die of the disease. Startling statistics show that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. However, when detected early, prostate cancer has very promising five-year survival rates of 92%. But like many other forms of cancer, these survival rates are all dependent on when the cancer is detected, and we know that early detection saves lives and improves survival outcomes.
