Though the overall incidence of prostate cancer is on the decline nationwide, in Arizona prostate cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death for men. Many employees and their spouses have questions about prostate cancer – Who should be screened and when? What does a diagnosis mean for the future?  What are the different available treatment options?

The workplace may be one of the best places to get answers to many of these questions. Employers are in a unique position to increase their employee’s awareness of prostate cancer and how to approach it in regards to screening, diagnosis, and treatment.  Learn how you can increase your employees’ knowledge about prostate cancer by providing key information that guides them to an informed decision.

Session participants will:
• Understand important facts about prostate cancer

  • Review screening guidelines and the diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • Assess the aggressiveness of prostate cancer
  • Discuss treatment options available at initial diagnosis
  • Learn how to support employees with prostate cancer
