“The number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer worldwide is projected to double to 2.9 million a year by 2040, with annual deaths predicted to rise by 85%, (…) and the most common form of male cancer in more than 100 countries. “

Iirc, some ethnicities have a higher risk rate and the risk increases with testosterone supplementation. One of the lines of defense is attempting to block T after mid stage diagnosis.
