September is officially Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. This guide is designed for Black men seeking information on screening ages, resources, post-cancer care and the like.
Furthermore, this guide is also useful for loved ones, caretakers, doctors, family, friends and those who are yearning to have more insights about the silent disease and its impact with Black men.
Factoids: Black Men and Prostate Cancer
1 out of 5 Black men will be diagnosed with this silent disease during their lifetime. This disease affects Black men at a higher rate than other groups.
If you're a Black man, annual screenings should begin at age 40. If there is a family history with the disease, annual screenings should begin at age 35. R. Frank Jones Urological Society
