More than 90 per cent of prostate cancer cases are curable if detected and treated in their earliest stages, according to Rebecca von Goetz, executive vice-president of Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC).
She added that statistically, a family history of the disease increases your risk so doctors may want to initiate earlier PSA blood testing, as well as hose of African or Caribbean descent are at higher risk of developing the disease
The big problem is despite an increasing level of awareness about prostate cancer among Canadians, men need to be educated on the importance of early detection. The more awareness is created, the more opportunities to fund research and support those men and their families living with the disease
