Prostate Cancer Awareness – Defeating an Unknown Epidemic
The Bad News – Anatomy of an Epidemic
1. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. In 2018, almost 240,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer – one man every 2.41 minutes
2. 25,919 men are projected to die from prostate cancer in 2018 – one man every 17.1 minutes
3. Only half of at risk men test annually, and most men that do test do not personally know or track their PSA value, or how it may be changing from one year to the next
The Good News – What Men and Their Families Can Do
1. Research shows that prostate cancer is very treatable if discovered early, before it has metastasized
2. A simple PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood test allows for the early detection of prostate cancer
3. The American Cancer Society’s research shows that a third of all cancers are lifestyle related
Prostate Cancer Awareness Project Mission
1. Ensure that every man over 35 knows that he needs to have an annual PSA (prostate specific antigen) test and that he needs to personally track any change in that PSA number
2. Create a nationwide series of events events that will raise prostate cancer awareness and provide a vehicle for ongoing exercise and nutrition improvement programs and, ultimately, prostate cancer prevention
