Did
you know prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in
America, affecting 1 in 6 men? Just in 2009 alone more than 192,000
men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 27,000 men
died from the disease. In fact, one new case occurs every 2.7
minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes!
The Prostate
Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world's largest philanthropic source
of support for accelerating the world's most promising research
for discovering better treatments and cures for prostate cancer.
Sports legends Vida Blue and Rosey Grier have teamed up in a new
public service announcement to raise awareness for early detection
of prostate cancer in men.
