PROSTATE CANCER IS AN UNCONTROLLED GROWTH OF ABNORMAL CELLS IN THE PROSTATE GLAND.

                   IF CAUGHT EARLY, SURVIVAL RATES ARE ALMOST 100%

* THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF PROSTATE CANCER

      * 1 in 6 American men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime
   
      * Over 30,000 men will needlessly die of Prostate Cancer THIS YEAR

      * A man is 33% more likely to get Prostate Cancer than a woman is to get Breast  
         Cancer

      * African American men are twice as likely to get and die from this disease

      THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER IS EARLY  
       DETECTION    

A Digital Rectal Exam (DRE), performed together with the Prostate Specific Antigen blood test (PSA), is the most effective way to detect Prostate Cancer at an early stage.

**These exams are recommended & easily incorporated within a man's yearly physical, beginning at age 40.
