South African men are urged to do medical screening for symptoms of prostate cancer in June as part of National Men’s Health Month.
This followed a finding by the National Cancer Registry (NCR) that the incidence of prostate cancer in South Africa almost doubled from 2007 to 2017.
Statistics show that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Men are advised to adapt a healthy diet and lifestyle and routinely do physical activities which helps to maintain good general health.
