November is Men's Health Awareness Month and it's the perfect opportunity to share information about the  health challenge of prostate cancer.  

 

Here's the facts:

 



•  Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.

 

• One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

 

• There are no early signs of prostate cancer.

 

• Prostate cancer is slow growing but by the time symptoms occur, it is usually in advanced stage and more difficult to treat.

 

That old adage " an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" rings true when thinking about prostate cancer.  It's important for men to have that yearly prostate exam--85% of prostate cancer is diagnosed in the early stage when it  is more likely to be treated successfully.
