Did you know that prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer related deaths? Before I had Madison, I use to work at a urologist's office. Most of our patients either came in for a circumcision or for issues with their prostate. I learned a ton about prostate cancer in the 2 (aff) years that I worked there. Early detection is a must. I've seen all the different treatments they can do. Trust me, like everything else — being found early usually makes for a better prognosis. My uncles have had this. Once of my friends father's died from prostate cancer. That is why I knew I had to be involved in this campaign!

Let me throw some numbers out at you. 1.2 (aff) million biopsies a year lead to 240,000 prostate cancer diagnoses and 30,000 deaths. 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.
