National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is observed every September in the United States by health experts, health advocates, and individuals concerned with men’s prostate cancer. Designating a month for the issue serves the purpose of:

  • Increasing public awareness of the importance of prostate cancer awareness
  • Providing easily accessible prostate cancer screenings
  • Educating about risk factors and symptoms of prostate cancer
  • Advocating for further research on prostate cancer.

Origins
