Hospital to Promote Prostate Cancer Awareness at Barbershops
Pittsburgh (AP) Officials at the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Minority Health and the Cancer Institute want to spread awareness about prostate cancer and cancer screenings.
So they are taking their message to four barbershops in predominantly black Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
The events will take place on June 18th.
Anyone at the barbershops that day will be offered an opportunity for a free prostate screening.
Researchers say black men experience both higher incidence and mortality rates from prostate cancer than any other ethic group.
It is recommended that all black men over 40 be screened for prostate cancer.
