Prostate cancer risks: Understanding the puzzle

September 11, 2010

Join Dr. Pedro Banda, Urologist, for a non-formal discussion around prostate health and cancer. Learn how to reduce your prostate cancer risk. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. According to the American Cancer Society, the estimated lifetime risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer is 17.6 percent for Caucasians and 20.6 percent for African Americans.

Over the years, however, the death rate from this disease has shown a steady decline, and currently, more than 2 million men in the U.S. are still alive after being diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives.

Although it is subject to some controversy, many experts recommend that beginning at age 40, all men should undergo a screening for prostate cancer. Are you curious about a new test in the future for prostate cancer and how this would affect you? Come with questions; we will have a Q and A session immediately following this presentation.

Wednesday, September 15, 6:00 – 7:00 pm Interfaith Older Adult Programs — Clinton Rose Center 3045 N. Martin Luther King Dr. Milwaukee

This event is free & open to the public – Advance Registration Preferred
