What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for prostate cancer in cases per 100,000 males. |
| Why this is important: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer among men in the United States. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer-related death among men. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Prostate cancer forms in tissues of the prostate and usually occurs in older men. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 67 Florida counties. |
