- A Resource About Prostate Cancer--Some Good News
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Men and their families can now request a free brochure about prostate
- cancer, the most common male tumor and second leading cause of death among
- American men. The brochure was developed by the Prostate Education Council
- (PCEC), a panel of physicians, health educators and patient support groups,
- and the National Institute of Cancer (NCI). It is called "Prostate Cancer:
- Some Good News Men Can Live With" and it dispels the myths associated with the
- disease and emphasizes the important role regular exams play in its early
- detection. The brochure can be obtained by calling NCI's toll-free hot line,
- 1-800-4-CANCER, or by writing to Prostate Cancer Education Council, JAF Box
- 888, New York, NY 10116. Hope lies in the fact that a regular examination can
- detect the disease at an early, and potentially curable stage, and reduce the
- toll, which now numbers 28,500 men who die of this disease each year.
