I read somewhere that every man will get prostate cancer if he lives long enough. The vast majority of prostate cancer is the slow growing kind where treatment is more harmful than good.

“I read somewhere that every man will get prostate cancer if he lives long enough.”

The old rule of thumb was that starting at age 70, the percent of men with prostate cancer equals age. However, most men die of something else by those ages. The cancer is only found on autopsy.
