The findings of a new study on one of the most common types of cancer seen worldwide are alarming. The study published in the Lancet has found that the number of new prostate cancer cases around the world will more than double over the next two decades. "Our findings suggest that the number of new cases annually will rise from 1.4 million in 2020 to 2.9 million by 2040," said the medical journal, based on a study of demographic changes.
It is a big concern right now because prostate cancer accounts for about 15 per cent of the total cases of cancer seen in men.
