#Movember Well the mustache is off to a better start than Cliff Claven’s. Speaking of Cliff..... #ItsALittleKnownFact PROSTATE CANCER Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Globally, more than 1.3 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Know the facts and take action early. EARLY DETECTION IS KEY. The difference between early detection and late detection can be life and death. Your risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age, but that doesn’t mean it’s a disease that only affects old men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Men who are African American, and men who have a family history (a brother or father with prostate cancer), are 2.5x more likely to get prostate cancer. If you’re 50, you should be talking to your doctor about PSA testing. If you’re African American, you need to start that conversation at 45. And if you have a brother or father with prostate cancer in their history, do it at 45. WHAT’S A PSA TEST? It’s a simple routine blood test. It’s used to determine the measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) concentration in the blood, it is the primary method of testing for prostate cancer. You should be talking to your doctor about whether testing is right for you. #MensHealth #CliffClaven #Cheers (at Cheers Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHORdespaxC/?igshid=10nxwp4lzn1mt
