Prostate Cancer Awareness
Screening means prevention
By the age of 50, 1 out of 4 men will have some
cancerous cells in his prostate. At age 80, the ratio becomes 1 in 2. However, most men outlive their diagnosis. And, in more than two-thirds of men diagnosed with the disease, cancer is confined to the prostate. That's why it is vital to get screened on a yearly basis.
What are the symptoms?
Prostate cancer develops slowly and may not cause symptoms. If symptoms do appear, they may include:
• Difficulty or an inability to urinate
• Blood in urine
• Painful ejaculation
• Loss of appetite and weight
• Lower back, pelvic, or upper thigh pain
