*The average age of prostate cancer diagnosis is 65. But as you get older, your chances of developing the disease go up. The questions of whether to screen for prostate cancer and whether to treat it become more complicated with age.* *WebMD 💙 #BlueRibbonKE #ProstateHealth 🇰🇪

Black men are much more likely to develop prostate cancer. One in four Black men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime—compared to one in eight men overall. The good news is that prostate cancer is very treatable when detected early. 💙 #BlueRibbonKE #ProstateCancer
