(UNDERWOOD):
"SEPTEMBER IS
'NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH'--A GOOD TIME TO LEARN
ABOUT THE MOST-COMMON CANCER AMONG MEN IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE
SECOND-LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-DEATH. THE RISK IS GREATER FOR
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN: IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ONE-IN-FIVE WILL BE
DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE-CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME. AND, THEY ARE
MORE THAN TWICE AS LIKELY AS OTHER RACIAL-GROUPS TO DIE WHEN THEY
DEVELOP PROSTATE-CANCER. WHAT YOU KNOW CAN HELP YOU: TAKE
THE TIME--DURING 'NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH'--TO LEARN
THE FACTS ABOUT THIS CANCER. FOR EXAMPLE, MEN [WHO ARE] YOUNGER
THAN AGE-50 RARELY GET PROSTATE-CANCER. BUT, WHEN CERTAIN-SYMPTOMS
DO APPEAR, IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS THEM WITH YOUR DOCTOR. FOR
MORE INFORMATION ON PROSTATE-CANCER, CONTACT THE NATIONAL CANCER
INSTITUTE'S 'CANCER INFORMATION SERVICE'--AT
1-800-4-'CANCER'. OR, VISIT
W-W-W-DOT-'CANCER'-DOT-GOV."
