There has been a huge increase in prostate cancer cases in men.
In 2020 there were over 191,000 men newly diagnosed.
Last year 2025 there was there was over 313,000 newly diagnosed men . That’s a significant increase in the amount of men from 2020.

@wert1234
The baby boomers are getting older and prostate cancer is mostly a disease of older people. I saw a report at a seminar last year that said they’re supposed to be more than 350,000 cases in 2026.
@wert1234 Yes, because MANY men went untested, unbiopsied and uncared for from the height of Covid for 2 yrs afterward.
I had a friend post surgery who had a PSA of 1.0 and no one would see him, or couldn’t for over 6 months. It was a very bad time.

@wert1234 And has it correlated with vaccine uptake? In counties/states/countries that had higher vaccination rates, have prostate-cancer rates been higher than in counties/states/countries with lower vaccination rates? (Answer: no.)
What has happened is that they've been doing much less routine PSA screening, so patients are arriving with their cancer already well underway. And during the pandemic, many people skipped medical appointments altogether, so other cancers went undetected early as well. 😢
