EVENT DESCRIPTION
A recent report from the American Cancer Society detailed an alarming increase in rates of advanced prostate cancer among men, and the disease continues to disproportionally affect Black men, who are twice as likely to die from the disease than White men.
With Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in September, this panel will address the latest facts that the public should know about this common, yet often misunderstood, disease. Panelists will discuss populations at higher risk for prostate cancer, proper screening and prevention of prostate cancer, reluctance among men to discuss prostate cancer and other urological diseases, and advice on how men can best advocate for their health.
Registration is closed for this event.
