How common is prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, particularly those over 50. In the UK, around one in eight men will be diagnosed with it in their lifetime. While it can be serious, many cases are slow-growing and highly treatable, especially when caught early, as seems to be the case with Biden.
