Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the United States. Prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality rates vary by race and ethnicity, with African American men experiencing among the highest prostate cancer rates in the world.  Well-documented health disparities and inequities exist for prostate cancer management, from screening to diagnostic and staging work-up, surveillance, and treatment, ultimately impacting clinical outcomes.

Preventing prostate cancer might be difficult, but screening early and often can help ensure that if you do get cancer, it’s diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

There's no proven prostate cancer prevention strategy. But you may reduce your risk of prostate cancer by making healthy choices such as;
 

• Choose a healthy diet

  • ​Low fat

  • Increase fruits and vegetables

  • Reduce dairy intake

• Maintain a healthy weight

• Get regular exercise

• Stop smoking

• Reduce alcohol intake
