Age of onset of prostate cancer

At present, a variety of diseases emerge one after another, and prostate cancer is one of them, resulting in many patients not being mentally prepared. China is a large country with a large population, and the number of people suffering from prostate cancer is also relatively large. The following will tell you about the age of onset of prostate cancer, hoping to help you take preventive measures in time.

The incidence of prostate cancer in Europe and the United States is extremely high, and it is a malignant tumor disease with a relatively high incidence rate, and the mortality rate closely follows that of lung cancer. Although the incidence of prostate cancer is higher in the United States than in Asian countries, it has also shown an increasing trend in recent years, and everyone has to pay close attention to it.

In the early stage of prostate cancer development, due to the limitations of the tumor itself, most patients do not have any abnormal manifestations, and they are basically found during physical examination. Of course, there are also a small number of patients who are accidentally discovered during prostatic hyperplasia surgery.

In China, prostate cancer has a clear trend of younger people, and the incidence of the disease is generally middle-aged and elderly. And because the number of aging population in China is increasing, the incidence rate is also increasing.

In 1990, the number of people suffering from prostate cancer in China was four times that of 1960, and by 2003, the incidence rate had occupied the first place among malignant tumors of the genitourinary system. At the same time, it ranks among the top 10 malignant neoplastic diseases in men.Some experts have clearly pointed out that in ten years, the incidence of prostate cancer will rank among the top three malignant tumor diseases in men. When it comes to the age of onset of prostate cancer, it basically occurs after the age of 50, and it is also a geriatric disease. In fact, the incidence of prostate cancer is also related to age, and the older you are, the higher the incidence, mainly between 60 and 80 years old.

After the above brief introduction, we all now know that prostate cancer is one of the malignant tumor diseases in men, and its morbidity and mortality are very high. Although the incidence rate in China is lower than that in Europe and the United States, we should not take it lightly and prevent the sudden attack of the disease.
