During Men`s Health Month let`s focus on preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases like prostate cancer .Black men are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer, facing the highest incidence and mortality rates of any racial group. They are about 70% more likely to develop the disease and more than twice as likely to die from it compared to white men. When caught early before it spreads, prostate cancer is highly treatable and boasts a 99% survival rate. DREF encourages of our brothers, fathers, uncles, sons, etc., especially those over age 40 to learn their status and check regularly. Your family and community needs you.❤️ #DST1913, #DREF, #MensHealthMonth, #HealthyMen, #BlackHealthMatters, #EarlyDetection,#GetChecked, #ProstateCancerAwareness, #CancerPrevention, #BlackMensHealth
