Detailed explanation-1: -Age and Cancer Risk The incidence rates for cancer overall climb steadily as age increases, from fewer than 25 cases per 100, 000 people in age groups under age 20, to about 350 per 100, 000 people among those aged 45–49, to more than 1, 000 per 100, 000 people in age groups 60 years and older.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prostate cancer incidence increases with age: the older you are, the greater your chance of developing it. Although only about 1 in 456 men under age 50 will be diagnosed, the rate shoots up to 1 in 54 for ages 50 to 59, 1 in 19 for ages 60 to 69, and 1 in 11 for men 70 and older.
Detailed explanation-3: -How Many People Die of Cancer by Sex and Race/Ethnicity? Among both men and women, non-Hispanic blacks have the highest cancer death rates, and non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander have the lowest cancer death rates. The death rate for men was 177.5 per 100, 000 men per year.
