Dear Listeners,

November aka "Movember" is the time where we raise awareness of men's health. More specifically this is a time where we shed light on the importance of prostate cancer awareness. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, prostate cancer is the 4th most common caner worldwide and the 2nd most common among men globally. This is a cancer that is specific to males. It is more common in older men and some risk factor include racial background, genetic predisposition, and life style. Health outcome is largely impacted by time of detection and treatment options. Ultimately, it is important to get regular screening at the recommended age, know your family history and aim to maintain life style habits that positively impact your health. Bermuda, prostate cancer awareness is not just for our men, it is a collective concern because we all may have a father, grandfather, son, cousin, brother or uncle that it can impact.
