Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States (1). However, most men will die with prostate cancer rather then from it (2). Because prostate cancer exhibits a long latency period, high incidence rate, and significant morbidity but low mortality, its prevention remains an active field of research.
