This study was aimed to conduct a literature review about the Men's Health and the impact of male bias in the preventive actions of Prostate cancer. The method consisted of a review of literature on the subject, made from a qualitative approach. The reviewed material was studied using the technique of thematic content analysis. The discussion of the results of the study was developed from considerations of the authors on the subject, which allowed the construction of a plan of action for both an educational approach, and for an approach to human welfare. After the analysis of texts, one can conclude that the production of scientific articles in the field of public health on the subject is scarce, that man was not created to be careful yourself, do not consider themselves vulnerable, do not have enough time to look for their health care, that misinformation about the means of prevention and health-disease process contributing to increased morbidity and mortality in men. Considering the theoretical research done, we can conclude that prostate cancer can be prevented through a series of preventive measures, requiring a general adequacy of the health system, because the Health Care Policy of the Man is a child not yet knows walking.
