September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
Look after your health. Know your numbers.
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month – an important opportunity for men to prioritise their prostate health and have a conversation with their doctor.
1 in 5 Australian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in Australia, however early detection can make a significant difference to treatment options and outcomes.
Currently only 36% of prostate cancers are detected at Stage 1, when survival rates are highest. This is why regular screening and talking to your doctor about your individual risk is so important.
Who should be screened?
We encourage all men over 50 to discuss prostate cancer screening with their doctor and consider annual screening.
