Try Wayne State University, or John Hopkins. They did the original autopsy studies. The risk of prostate cancer rises about 10% with every decade. It’s now an accepted medical fact that autopsies on elderly men invariably show signs of prostate cancer. Few actually suffered from the disease. It was merely present at the time of death.

The good news is that prostate cancer in young men is virulent, and can kill in a year, like Bill Bixby. Prostate cancer is the elderly is rarely virulent, and most will die with it, not from it.

Also check out the Swedish Health study on prostate cancer. They found that only 2.4% of men over age 70 with prostate cancer would actually die from the disease even without treatment.

Poorly worded. The good news is that prostate cancer in elderly men is rarely fatal.
