Prostate Cancer Awareness: What We Need to Know

This podcast takes a close look at the risk factors for prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Our guest is Paul Arangua, MPH in Epidemiology and an educator/researcher with the Prostate Conditions Education Council. We explore the incidence of prostate cancer, the risk factors, screening recommendations, and treatment outcomes. Why is prostate cancer so virulent? When left untreated, why does it spread so rapidly to other tissue and organs in the body? What is the survival rate when caught early? And, what is the relatively high mortality rate if left unidentified and localized in the body? Our guest shares PSA screening recommendations for different age groups, as well as newer screens using genomic markers. What lifestyle changes are closely aligned with prevention? This is a highly educational and must-know topic for all men, and partners. Be sure to tune in.
