about 192, 280 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed

About 1 man in 6 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. More than 2 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.
I wouldn’t call $341,000,000 almost none, but it is half that of breast cancer.
I’m not sure of the reason, but if I had to guess I’d say it is because the risk of prostate cancer is 1 in 6 and risk of breast cancer is 1 in 8, but the risk of death from prostate cancer is 1 in 34 and the risk of death from breast cancer is 1 in 28.
The younger you are the worse the prognosis for both diseases, but it is unheard of for a man in his 30s to get prostate cancer and this is not the case with breast cancer.
