On the major web site for medical institutions and places like WEB MD you will see this statistic of 1 in 6 will get diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
The fallacy is this is diagnosis and does not address high or rising PSA numbers that patients are given and some choose to do to go on watchful observance without ever having biopsies to determine if have prostrate cancer.
Some type prostrate cancers are very serious including what stage is in. Most of the low risk ones and soley in prostrate get the option of watchful waiting depending on age. I still read several providers still giving advice all over the spectrum and can still be confusing. It is why I depended on what UFPTI, Mayo consultations were after biopsies, and then my research at major medical providers, and centers like American Cancer Society, NIH, etc. to help me make decisions.
Good luck,
