In 2014, Prostate Cancer Canada (http://prostatecancer.ca/Prostate-Cancer/About-Prostate-Cancer/Statistics#.VMKgydJ4p4d) estimated 23,600 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, representing an estimated 24% of all new cancer diagnoses among Canadian men. The Canadian Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-type/prostate/statistics/?region=sk) estimates that last year (2014), 65 Canadian men were diagnosed with prostate cancer every day. 1 in 8 men (based on a 2009 estimate) will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime.
