In all seriousness, this part of the exam is embarrassing and never gets easier, but it’s a small price to pay. Prostate cancer is the second most frequent malignancy (after lung cancer) in men worldwide, counting 1,276,106 new cases and causing 358,989 deaths (3.8% of all deaths caused by cancer in men) in 2018
About 1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men and in African-American men. About 6 cases in 10 are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older, and it is rare in men under 40
If Black men didn’t have enough to worry about, High blood pressure, Prostate Cancer, the Police department, yeah another threat to our morality. I hope despite of everything that is going on in the United States today I can provide you a moment to laugh at my pain.
