MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIFORNIA (PRBUZZ) January 3, 2013. “Prostate cancer doesn’t care. But JP Morgan Chase Does!” JPMorgan Chase Community Giving joined the fight to end prostate cancer by contributing to the first Internet prostate cancer early warning tool for men, ProstateTracker. ProstateTracker, developed by the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project, is a free Internet-based prostate cancer early detection tool. Men just enter their annual prostate specific antigen (PSA) number and ProstateTracker reveals if there is an increase from the previous year, which is a warning sign of possible prostate cancer. ProstateTracker also sends a reminder email when a man’s next annual test is due. ProstateTracker is free to everyone. Prostate Cancer Awareness Project CEO Robert Hess, himself a 10-year prostate cancer survivor, notes that he calls himself an “accidental prostate cancer survivor” because he was diagnosed with multiple prostate cancer tumors when his PSA and physical exam results were within the “normal” range. Hess notes that “normal” varies from man-to-man. The best way to find prostate cancer early, when it still is treatable, is tracking any rise in PSA value from the previous year. “Metatastic prostate cancer – prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body- is almost impossible to […] read more
