SEPTEMBER Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

General Prostate Cancer Info - Blog
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer found in men and the number two cause of cancer deaths in men. More than 200,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, and than 27,000 men are estimated to die of prostate cancer.

The earlier the prostate cancer is diagnosed, the easier it can be removed. And with newer, outpatient, mini-invasive technologies available, there are significantly less complications such as sexual dysfunction and loss of urinary control, while still obtaining excellent cancer control.

In view of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, the Rotary Club of Orlando Evening Club is organizing a prostate cancer screening event on Saturday September 19 from 8:00 AM through 12:00 PM at the College Park Baptist Church in Orlando (1914 Edgewatr Drive, Orlando). For a nominal charge of 10 dollars, men 40 years and older will be able to get a prostate screening.

The 10 dollar fee will be fully applied to benefit the Orlando Health Care Center for the Homeless.

To RSVP for the event, please call 407-566-1105.
