Men with BPH, an abnormal growth of benign prostate cells, can join SELECT because BPH is not a cancerous condition. In BPH, the prostate grows larger and presses against the urethra and bladder, interfering with the normal flow of urine. More than half of the men in the United States between the ages of 60 and 70 and as many as 90 percent of men between the ages of 70 and 90 have symptoms of BPH.
