Some 50 men have already signed up for the Prostate Cancer Health Forum slated for Friday.<\/p>\n
The Prostate Cancer Health Forum, to be held at Aqua Resort Club from 8am to 2pm, is being organized by the Department of Public Health as part of the celebration of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s celebration has the theme, \u201cReal Men Get Their Facts!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe already have 50 confirmed attendees, including four of our representatives,\u201d Kimberly Sablan, chairperson of the Prostate Cancer Awareness Month Committee, told Saipan Tribune. <\/p>\n
Sablan disclosed that forum presenters, composed of DPH staff, will talk about prostate screenings available and the steps that men should take to lower their risk of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy that we\u2019re right on our target audience, which is male individuals age 40 years or older,\u201d added Sablan.<\/p>\n
Sablan said the number of early registered participants is a reflection that the community is becoming more aware about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy the end of the month, I\u2019m hoping to see more men learn from this forum,\u201d said Sablan. \u201cLike I always say, it\u2019s them that would benefit from this.\u201d <\/p>\n
