Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and the second most common cancer related death. Through research, we have found that African–American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer have a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer. In the 90's the mortality rate from prostate cancer decreased, presumably due to PSA testing. Patients with organ-confined tumors, particularly if they have a moderate Gleason score have an excellent chance of long-term survival with radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy. Advances in detecting micrometastatic disease are needed to further impact on this disease.
