The BBC got it directly from the National Cancer Institute https://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate
"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. Prostate cancer usually grows very slowly, and finding and treating it before symptoms occur may not improve men's health or help them live longer. Explore the links on this page to learn about prostate cancer treatment, prevention, screening, statistics, research, and more."

I see that on their website as well. Seems like a strange thing to write - might give men the impression that screening isnt important.
Like “ oh well, even if they find something, it probably won’t matter anyway, so why get screened”.

Yes - again, not the second most deadliest cancer in general. It causes the most deaths because it is the most common cancer in men , not because it is deadliest.
For example , 5 year survival rate for PC is 97% and about 23% for lung cancer, not to mention pancreatic (13%) etc.
