September is prostate cancer awareness month — and as the second-leading cause of death among American men, it’s a disease that warrants your full attention.
Prostate cancer is often treatable when caught early. It’s why St.Vincent Cancer Care works hand in hand with agencies like Little Red Door in Indianapolis to offer free prostate screenings to the community.
To learn why it’s so important to get screened starting at age 50 (or, if your father or brother has had prostate cancer, at age 40), watch the video below.
Also: Show your support for prostate cancer awareness at the 2011 Indianapolis Great Prostate Cancer Challenge. A 5K run/walk, it will kick off at 8 a.m. at the Carmel office of Urology of Indiana, 12188-A North Meridian Street, Suite 200. Click here to register now.
