Prostate Cancer Awareness: Know Your Options
Looking forward to football season in September? This month also marks Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Just as play options are important to football players, it is also important for you to know what the options are for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men in the United States. Most prostate cancers grow slowly and do not cause health problems. Men with a greater chance of getting prostate cancer are older men, African-American men, and men with a family history of prostate cancer. If you think you may be at high risk for prostate cancer, talk to your doctor about what screening or treatment approach is best for you. CDC is making strides in bringing awareness to prostate cancer and providing information about your options. Take a look at our newest resources.
- "Should I Get Tested for Prostate Cancer?" is a new motion graphic video that helps men understand their prostate cancer screening options.
- Treatment Decision Dashboard is an interactive web-based tool that provides a walk-through of each treatment option for low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The dashboard, developed by the University of Rochester and funded by DCPC, uses graphical examples and provides a side by side comparison of short- and long-term outcomes of common prostate cancer treatments.
