Prostate Health Symposiums - June 14, 2014

PHEN is partnering with churches in 16 cities to host prostate health symposiums to address the need for increased knowledge and awareness within African American communities in the fight against prostate cancer. The majority of these symposiums will be held on Saturday, June 14th in conjunction with the Fathers Day Rally on Sunday June 15th. Each symposium's agenda will focus on:

♦ Healthy men - about their prostate cancer risk, early detection screening and "shared-decision making" with their doctors.
♦ Men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer - about treatment options, whether to treat immediately or to follow a course of active surveillance.

♦ Prostate Cancer Survivors - about managing survivorship issues.
♦ Men with recurring and advanced prostate cancer - about available treatment options including clinical trials.

♦ Caregivers (wives, children and other loved ones) - about understanding their needs, and identifying available resources.

The Symposiums are open and free to the public and include a networking breakfast or lunch.
