African American Men are at Increased Risk for Prostate CancerAfrican American men are 1.7 times as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 2.3 times as likely to die from the disease. This Black History Month, we’ll be sharing stories from some of our dedicated advocates who fight daily to increase education and awareness among the African American community. One of those men is Anthony Minter. When Tony Minter was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012, he was 50 years old and had been monitoring his PSA with his doctor since he began testing at 40. He is now a passionate ZERO advocate who attends the ZERO Summit each year in Washington, D.C. and educates men in his local community about their risk for prostate cancer. Read more of Anthony’s story here and more about prostate cancer in the African American community here. |
