Calling on men to check risk of prostate cancer

Related Topics: World Cancer Day

Ahead of World Cancer Day on Sunday, February 4, Arsenal are calling on men to check their risk of prostate cancer.

One in eight men will get prostate cancer. The risk is even higher if you’re over 50, or over 45 if you’re black, or there is a family history of prostate cancer. The earlier it’s detected, the easier it is to treat. Prostate cancer often doesn’t have symptoms, and the best way to check is through a quick and easy blood test that you can get from your GP. If you are already diagnosed, prostate cancer doesn’t have to define you or stop you from doing the things you love to do, our Arsenal group is proof of that.
