Blue September – Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Every day, 10 Kiwis* are told that they have prostate cancer, and tragically, over 700* die from the disease each year. So, if you haven’t been directly affected, it is very likely that you know of someone who has or will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

This month is Blue September, New Zealand’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, which is all about increasing awareness about the importance of early detection and annual prostate checks in the fight against prostate cancer.
