Prostate Cancer Awareness

Most of the early prostate cancer warning signs involve changes in the way you pass water. This is because the enlarged prostate presses on the tube from your bladder. Where is the prostate and what is prostate cancer? The prostate is a small organ, found only in men, that is wrapped around the tube that carries urine away from the bladder. It plays an important role in producing the fluid that, when added to sperm from the testes, creates semen. Prostate cancer occurs when one or more of the cells of the prostate begin to multiply at a greater rate than normal, forming a tumour. This may stay localised to the prostate, or may spread to other areas of the body such as the liver or the bones. Why should I look out for prostate cancer warning signs? Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in British men and the second biggest cancer killer after lung cancer. Around 35000 men are diagnosed with the condition in the UK every year and around 10000 men die from it. However, treatments are available and these are most effective when started as early as possible. Keeping a careful look out for prostate cancer warning signs is vital if you are to catch the disease in the early stages. www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk

          African American males can beat prostate cancer with Full Court Press

          Prostate Cancer is the second leading cause of Cancer death among African-American men. Black men have a greater risk of developing the disease than any other racial group and die from the Prostate Cancer at more than twice the rate of White men. Using a street basketball game as a metaphor for the game of life, and health, Full Court Press is a compelling and inventive documentary project that delivers a clear, concise and engaging message about African-American men and Prostate Cancer, eg, the importance of routine screening and early detection. The basketball game pits “Old School” players, age 40 and over, when Black men should begin routine screening for Prostate Cancer, against “Young Bloods,” featuring men age 21 to 39, young men still feeling empowered by a flawed sense of invincibility. The basketball fans include Prostate Cancer survivors, physicians, and a health disparities expert. Full Court Press provides an insightful study of the disease, its impact on the African-American community and the benefits of living a proactive, healthy lifestyle. Full Court Press is produced by the City of Norfolk Office of Communications and PBS affiliate WHRO-TV, Norfolk, Virginia, and was written and is hosted by a Prostate cancer survivor. www.norfolk.gov
