Your Health Connection Has For Advice On Living With Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer kills African American men at disproportionately higher rates than the rest of the male population.  Host JaQuitta Williams was joined Wednesday September 17 and talked about it on Your Health Connection.  Our guests included Robert Carey, a prostate cancer survivor and board member of the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition, and Dr. Cimona Hinton, Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences and CCRTD Clark Atlanta University. They took listener calls and discussed the latest advances in treatment and diagnosis of this disease.

If caught early, prostate cancer does not have to be fatal, or debilitating.

Your Health Connection is made possible by the Center For Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development at Clark Atlanta University, which is on the cutting edge of scientific research designed to unlock the genetic key to solving and curing prostate cancer.  You can find out more about their work by clicking here.
