While progress has been made\, prostate cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in Canada. This is a month to join together to transform the future of prostate cancer for the 27\,900 men in Canada expected to be diagnosed this year. Prostate cancer is one of the least preventable cancers\, making advancements in prostate cancer treatment so important.  \nThe Canadian Cancer Society stresses the importance of early detection which can determine better treatment outcomes.
