Did you know that a man is 33% more
likely to get prostate cancer
than a woman is to get breast cancer? It's
true.
A husband, father, son, brother, grandfather,
friend dies
every 19 minutes of every day from Prostate
Cancer
Are you a male 40-75
or over 35 and African American
or your father or brother had Prostate Cancer?
Get
tested! PSA and
DRE*
Someone you know may be affected.
One in every seven men will get prostate
cancer.
35% will be under the age of 65.
There will be over 248,530 men with a new case of
prostate
cancer this year. Over 34,130 will die because
they didn't get an examination or didn't act soon
enough.
Don't let it be said, "He was too afraid or
embarrassed to get tested."
We cannot rest until we win the battle against
Prostate Cancer.

Take
the Risk Factor Test
Four Important Things to
Remember before Getting
Tested
1. Be sure that you're rested.
2. No sexual activity for 72 hours before the
test.
3. Got a cold? Put it on hold.
4. Either have your PSA test before the DRE or
delay taking a
PSA test for 48 hours AFTER you
have had your DRE test.
* If you get a
reading between zero and 1, get tested again in
five year.
If the reading is between 1 and 2, get tested again
in two years.
If the reading is between 2-4, get tested every
year.
If the reading is over 4, consider additional tests
like PSA free,
AMAS, ultrasound, x-rays, and more blood t
ests, then, maybe a biopsy. And, take this health
opportunity to learn every thing you can about
prostate cancer! Call the PCA Coalition
