What is Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during intercourse, or erectile dysfunction. Prostate Cancer is the second leading cancer killer of men next to lung cancer.

Know the Symptoms

Prostate Cancer is also known as a “Silent Disease,” as there are very few symptoms related to the early stages. The information presented is to encourage men to be educated and tested. If you have prostate symptoms now, such as urgency to urinate, pain when you pass urine, blood in your urine, or trouble passing urine, see your doctor.

Know your Number

Veterans over 40 years of age are encouraged to know their Prostate Specific Antigen “PSA” blood test value. The PSA is equally as important as cholesterol or blood pressure. It is also important to know the change in the values from year to year. Knowing the benefits of prostate cancer screening allows for greater success in preventing and treating this disease.

Veteran Support

There are over 9 million Veterans who receive healthcare from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Over 500,000 Veterans are living with prostate cancer, and over 16,000 have a metastatic form of the disease. Its VPCa’s mission to educate the over 19 million Veterans in our country about the higher-than-normal risk of developing prostate cancer as a Veteran.
