Anyone who’s lost a loved one to cancer knows how devastating the disease can be. Cancer effected my family when my Grandfather was diagnosed. Unfortunately, he didn’t recover and lost his life at only 62 years old. This caused terrible pain for the entire family, but was the worst for my Grandmother. Instead of spending their golden years together as intended, she spent the last 22 years of her life all alone as a widow.

Cancer is and always will be a horrible disease, but there have been many advances—one of the best being early detection. Anyone who is at risk for Prostate cancer needs to know about Prolaris.

Prolaris is a genetic test for prostate cancer from Myriad Genetics Laboratories that combines traditional risk factors with molecular assessment. Prolaris is the only test that measures how fast prostate cancer cells are dividing. The information obtained from this test greatly impacts the treatment choices that someone diagnosed with Prostate cancer would choose. 

Over 1.2 million biopsies a year lead to 240,000 prostate cancer diagnoses and 30,000 deaths. Prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer related death in the United States. Since women tend to take the dominant role in health care and screening in our homes, we need to be more educated about Prostate cancer and in turn, to educate the men in our lives.

When it comes to health, knowledge truly is power, and Polaris wants you to be informed. You could also win a huge $2,000 giveaway! Sign up yourself and a loved one up for a series of 3 emails that will empower you with what you need to know about prostate cancer.
