Talking Points

To summarize key points about the risk and natural history of prostate cancer:

• Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death.



• Risk increases with age and is higher in some racial/ethnic groups and in men with positive family histories.



• Prostate cancer is heterogeneous; some cancers are fatal, others are not.



• There are no agreed-on strategies to prevent prostate cancer because there is no agreement about whether there are modifiable risk factors.
