For seniors 65 or older, understanding the risks and knowing the support options available is crucial. This is where the Medi-Share 65+ community comes into play.
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of early detection and treatment. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, and its prevalence increases with age. It occurs when cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably. Most cases are diagnosed in men aged 65 and older. Early detection through regular screenings, such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) tests, can lead to better treatment outcomes and a higher chance of survival.
Why Prostate Cancer Awareness Month Matters
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month serves as a reminder for men to get screened and to stay informed about their health. Awareness leads to early detection, and early detection saves lives. During this month, various campaigns and events focus on educating the public, encouraging screenings, and supporting those affected by prostate cancer.
