Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but Black men face a higher risk. They are more likely to develop it at a younger age and with more aggressive forms. The risk increases after age 40, especially with family history. Early detection saves lives; regular screenings can catch cancer before symptoms appear. Discuss with your doctor when to begin screening. Knowing your risk can help make a difference. #MinorityHealthMonth
