September
is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, so it’s a great opportunity for men to
learn about prostate health – especially since, aside from skin cancer,
prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. That’s why, on
Sept. 15, CoxHealth will hold “Prostate Cancer Treatment: Your Options,” a
panel presentation led by CoxHealth physicians. All men (and spouses/friends)
are invited to come and learn more about options for dealing with prostate
cancer should it arise.
“One
in seven men will get diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime,” says Dr.
Ibrahim “Abe” Abdalla, Oncology medical director at CoxHealth.
“Thankfully, there are many treatment options available and this program is to
help men learn about the options and weigh the pros and cons of the different
treatments. We want men to know that there are treatment options that will
retain quality of life – but that prostate cancer must be addressed in a timely
fashion for them to be most effective.”
The
evening will be led by Dr. Abdalla and urologist Dr. Andrew Schultz. After the
presentation is over, there will be time for questions from the audience.
The
event will be held at Cox South (3801 S. National Ave., Springfield) in Foster
Auditorium at 6 p.m. Heavy appetizers will be served. It is free to attend. For more information or to register, please
call 417-269-5224.
