New Prostate Cancer Awareness Month Marketing Tools Available

July 27, 2023

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2023, there will be an estimated 288,300 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed in the US and 34,700 men will die from the disease this year.   Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, and 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the leading site of new cancers diagnosed and the number two cause of death for males.

To support your CoC-accredited program’s outreach activities and increase awareness during  Prostate Cancer Awareness Month within your community, the CoC has created posters and other social media tools. To access these resources, log into QPort and click on Resources.

If you have questions or need assistance, contact coc@facs.org. Please share with us information on your program’s activities to observe this month.
