This World Cancer Day (Friday 4 February 2022) Wessex Cancer Alliance, Dorset Race Equality Council and Wessex Voices invite you to join the conversation on prostate cancer in our online event Let’s Talk About Prostate Cancer.

Anyone who wants to learn more about the increased risk of prostate cancer in Black men is welcome, although this event is particularly relevant for men aged 45+ and their families from Black African, Caribbean, and Black British communities.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 4 men from Black African, Caribbean, and Black British communities – which is twice as many as the 1 in 8 men it affects from other communities. Black men are also at risk from a younger age than other men.

Let’s Talk About Prostate Cancer will feature a range of experts with personal and clinical experience in this area who will share their knowledge, experience and advice to empower Black men and their families to discuss prostate cancer and provide them with the tools and awareness to access medical support.

The event will cover:

• Signs and symptoms

• Personal experiences of prostate cancer

• The PSA test

• Next steps and questions

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us:
