Dr. Artie Shelton, retired U.S. Army Colonel and prostate cancer survivor, highlights that 1 in 8 men in the U.S. will face prostate cancer, with even higher risks for Black men. Over 288,000 are diagnosed and 34,000 die each year. He stresses early detection and regular screening, especially for those over 50 or with additional risk factors. Dr. Shelton urges open discussion about men’s health and notes that with awareness and support, lives can be saved.
