WATCH VIDEOS: “ Black Men Should Start Prostate Cancer Screening Conversations at 40.

Why? Because Early Detection is Key.

Early detection aims to find the cancer in its early stages when treatment is most likely to be effective. The 5-year survival rate in the United States for men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer is greater than 99%.2

According to the American Cancer Society's 2019 data, Black men are 60% more likely than white men to receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer and are twice as likely to die from the disease.
