September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness and educating people about the disease. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 7 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. While death rates have dropped significantly, continued education about risk factors, signs, symptoms, and treatment options are important to continue to make progress and improve survival rates. Knowledge is power, so read through our resources below and be sure to share them with family members or friends who may also benefit.
