At Drivers On Scoot, we are proudly supporting the foundation whose relentless effort is to raise awareness about men's health in general and to support the prostate cancer research in particular.
Few facts about prostate cancer:
Did you know that this year, over 6,000 men aged 50+ will be diagnosed with prostate cancer?
Very sadly, half of them will die because once the symptoms are showing, it is already too late!
What to do then?
Get regular blood test and health checks if you are 40+ and even more so if you are 50+.
Share this with your mates as there is no shame in talking about this... on the contrary!
Risk factors:
The causes of prostate cancer are not known. However there are certain risk factors that have been linked with the development of prostate cancer including:
• Family history of prostate cancer- those men with a father or brother who has had prostate cancer
• Age- men over the age of 50 years
• Diet- a diet high in animal fat and protein
• Race- Afro-Caribbean men are more at risk of having prostate cancer than Asian men

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women. Almost a quarter of a million men annually in the United States are diagnosed for prostate cancer. The majority of men with prostate cancer are aged over 60 years. However prostate cancer can also occur in younger individuals, include African American, who have double the risk and death rate of white men and often are stricken before age 50. Men with a brother or father link to prostate cancer at a young age have an greater risk.
