SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

According to the American Cancer Society's most current data for 2009-2010, prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. Between 2001 and 2005, the prostate cancer incidence rate was 59% higher in African-American men. African-American men also have the highest mortality rate for prostate cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the US. The death rate for prostate cancer is 2.4 times higher in African-American men than white men in the US.

It is estimated that approximately 192,000 new cases of prostate cancer will occur in the United States this year, with an estimated 5,150 new cases in the State of Louisiana and Mississippi, with 750 deaths resulting from a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
