Take charge of your Prostate Health during
September—National Prostate Health Month
Newswise — One in six men
will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in
his lifetime. 27,000 men will die from
prostate cancer this year alone. Prostate
cancer is a serious health issue and
Americans are taking note.
On August 25, 2008, President
George W. Bush proclaimed that September is
Prostate Health Month. There is no better
time to raise awareness about prostate
health than during the month of September.
The American Urological
Association (AUA) and the AUA Foundation are
pleased to be co-sponsoring a number of
events with different community partners to
promote prostate health, education and
awareness.
During this important month
and throughout the year, the AUA can provide
information, statistics and expert
commentary on subjects related to prostate
health. The AUA can assist in developing
related story topics on prostate health,
such as:
• New risk factors for
prostate cancer
• Robot-assisted prostatectomy - the latest
technology
• New techniques and technology to treat
prostate cancer
• Treatment options for prostate cancer and
what patients should know about each
• When should men have a prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) test to screen for prostate
cancer?
• What is active surveillance and when is it
appropriate?
• What is BPH/enlarged prostate? How is it
treated?
• What is prostatitis? How is it treated?
