Did you know that prostate cancer often goes unnoticed? It doesn’t always announce itself with obvious symptoms, and that’s what makes it especially dangerous. Early detection is key, and we’re here to make sure every man has the opportunity to take action.
When signs do appear, they may be subtle:
- Difficulty urinating
- Back pain
- Blood in urine
- Incontinence
- Painful ejaculation
Prostate Cancer by the Numbers:
- 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed by age 85.
- The 5-year survival rate is high at 96%—but early detection is key.
- It’s the 4th most common cancer in Australia, with the highest incidence in men aged 75-79 years.
Who’s at risk?
- Men over 50
- Family history of prostate, breast, or ovarian cancer
- Close relatives (father or brother) diagnosed before age 60
Gentlemen, this month, take a moment to prioritise your health.
Get checked. Spread the word.
It’s time to break the silence, raise awareness, and encourage men to take action.
Encourage your fathers, brothers, and friends to take action, because together, we can fight prostate cancer and ensure a healthier future for all men.
