It's an extremely common problem in men, approximately a 16% chance in a man's lifetime that he will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. What are the risks for getting prostate cancer? Age, race, family history. Those are non-modifiable risk factors. We can't really pick our family and unfortunately age is inevitable. And also diet which might be a modifiable risk factor and the lecturer will talk about that briefly.
