How common is prostate cancer? Is it an aggressive cancer?

Prostate cancer is very common and the second highest cause of cancer death in men. There is a wide range of aggressiveness with prostate cancer. Cancer is present in many older men; we may choose to treat the least aggressive cancers with “watchful waiting” as they are unlikely to lead to any problems. With more aggressive cancers, early diagnosis and treatment is very important.
