DID YOU KNOW?
Annually, over 30,000 American men die from prostate cancer. [2] It’s the most common cancer in men after skin cancer — but it’s also highly treatable when caught early.
STAY INFORMED
- Prostate cancer develops in the prostate, a small gland that produces seminal fluid and plays a key role in male reproductive health. [1]
- It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men (excluding skin cancer). About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed during their lifetime. [2]
- Symptoms can include difficulty urinating, blood in the urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, or pelvic discomfort — though early stages may show no signs. [1]
HELPFUL TIPS
1. Eat a Balanced, Plant-Heavy Diet
- Fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in antioxidants support prostate health. Limit red meat, processed meats, and high-fat dairy. [1]
2. Exercise and Maintain a Healthy Weight
- Obesity is linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days. [1]
3. Know Your Risk Factors
- If you’re over 50, African American, or have a family history of prostate cancer, talk to your doctor about earlier or more frequent screening. [1]
PROSTATE CANCER SAFETY REMINDER
Early-stage prostate cancer often has no symptoms — that’s why screening matters. Annual checkups and open conversations with your doctor can lead to early detection and better outcomes. Don’t wait — get informed, get screened.
