Prostate Cancer: A closer look at your health

Prostate cancer is a serious health concern that can lead to death if not caught early. Just last week, O.J. Simpson passed away from prostate cancer, highlighting the importance of awareness and preventive measures. Health officials estimate that around 35,000 men in the U.S. will lose their lives to this disease this year alone. However, not everyone faces the same risks when it comes to prostate cancer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society, Black men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to other ethnic groups. This disparity in risk factors underscores the importance of understanding the disease and taking proactive steps towards early detection.

Dr. Archelle Georgiou, a KSTP Health Expert, recently discussed prostate cancer on 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, shedding light on the importance of catching the disease in its early stages. By raising awareness and educating individuals about the risk factors and symptoms of prostate cancer, the hope is to increase early detection rates and improve outcomes for those affected by the disease. Stay informed and prioritize your health by staying up to date on the latest information surrounding prostate cancer.
