Prostate Cancer Awareness Series
Part 3 of 5 💙

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. We’ve talked about what the prostate is and why prostate cancer awareness matters. So, who should get checked and when?

👨🏿 Black men: Start the conversation about prostate cancer screening at age 40, even if you feel well. We’re looking at you, Liberian men! 👀

🧬 Men at higher risk: Start the conversation about prostate cancer screening at age 40. Risk factors include:
• Black ancestry
• A close relative, such as your father, brother, or son, with prostate cancer
• Certain inherited gene changes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2
• A strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer

📅 Men without these higher-risk factors: Start the conversation about prostate cancer screening at age 45–50.

Screening is a personal decision. Talk with a healthcare provider about your individual risk, the potential benefits and harms of screening, and when screening may be right for you.

💬 Start the conversation. Protect your tomorrow.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Series
Part 2 of 5 💙

Why should you care about prostate cancer? Why does this matter to Liberian men?

Did you know prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer AND the leading cause of cancer death among men in Liberia?

That matters. But so does knowing that we can do something about it.

👨🏿 Black men are at higher risk of developing prostate cancer and are more likely to develop it at a younger age.

💙 Early detection saves lives. When prostate cancer is found early, it is highly treatable, giving men more options for treatment and care.

Knowledge is power. Men 40 and older, knowing your risk and talking with a healthcare professional about prostate cancer screening can be an important step toward protecting your health.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Series
Part 1 of 5💙

With all this talk about prostate cancer awareness, we’re getting back to the basics.

Over the next few posts, we’ll break down some of the things every man and every family should know about prostate health and prostate cancer.

Let’s the most basic question of all:
🤔 What in the world is the prostate?

The prostate is a small gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It sits just below the bladder and in front of the re**um, surrounding part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body).

🌰 It’s about the size of a walnut or kola nut and produces fluid that helps nourish and transport s***m. The prostate may be small, but it plays an important role. As men get older, prostate problems become increasingly common.

💡 We’re starting with the basics because understanding your prostate is the first step toward protecting your prostate health.

💙 Knowledge today. A healthier tomorrow.

💙 September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer and cancer death among men in Liberia. Men should NOT wait until they have symptoms to think about screening. Prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages.

This September, Susu Health Foundation is going back to the basics with our Prostate Cancer Awareness Series. Over the coming weeks, we’ll talk about:

💙 What is the prostate?
💙 What should men know about prostate cancer?
💙 Who should get checked—and when?
💙 What is a PSA test?
💙 What are the warning signs?

Follow along, share the series, and help us get this information into the hands of the men and families who need it.

We’re encouraging men to know their risk, talk with a healthcare provider, and get screened when appropriate. Everyone please encourage the men in your life to do the same.

We’re not stopping at awareness. 💙

📣 Stay tuned! Susu Health Foundation will once again offer FREE and reduced-cost prostate cancer screening in Liberia during Liberia’s Diaspora Annual Return in December. Details are coming soon.

💙 Know your risk. Get screened.
