CANSA highlights the importance of the TOP FIVE leading cancers affecting MEN in South Africa and urges men to go for regular check-ups, not only during November, but throughout the year. Men’s Health Awareness month is recognised globally in November, with 19 November celebrated as International Men’s Day – a day recognising the positive value men bring to their families and communities and raise awareness with a focus on men’s health and wellbeing. * Prostate cancer remains the number ONE of the top five cancers among men * Colorectal, or colon cancer is the SECOND most common cancer in men * Lung cancer is the THIRD most common cancer in men * Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) is cancer of the lymphoid tissue, which includes the lymph nodes, spleen and other organs of the immune system. It’s the FOURTH most common cancer in men * Melanoma has replaced bladder cancer as the FIFTH most common in men Early detection is key when it comes to beating cancer. Recognise changes in your own body and act upon any changes or symptoms that develop and go for regular screening. https://cansa.org.za/early-detection-plays-key-role/ (link in bio) #MensHealth #CANSACares #LowerCancerRisk #CANSAScreening
