💙🖤Prostate Cancer Awareness Month🖤💙
September 1 - September 30
Every September, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month brings together global communities—healthcare providers, survivors, researchers, and families - to shine a spotlight on a cancer that affects millions of men. It is a time of education, conversation, screening, and compassion. During this month, we unite to raise awareness, encourage early detection, support those facing prostate cancer, and fund research for better outcomes.
It is the second most common cancer in men globally, with several million new cases each year. One in every eight men will receive a prostate cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. When caught early, prostate cancer has a high 5 year survival rate—often above 95%. With advances like active surveillance, focal therapy, nerve-sparing surgery, and more precise radiation, men have options that align with both health and long-term quality of life.
Prostate cancer affects not just patients, but families, partners, and support networks. Awareness Month advocates for carer support, open communication, and shared resilience.
