Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
Approximately one out of five men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the U.S. If you are a veteran who was exposed to Agent Orange during military service, you may be at a higher risk for prostate cancer. Increased age is also a major risk factor. Vietnam veterans have already reached the age group (50-70 years old) when prostate cancer is typically detected. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month so talk to your health care provider about your risk and the pros and cons of screening.
