It’s Movember, and that is not a typo! Every November, the Movember Foundation
encourages men to grow mustaches and pave the way for conversations about
men’s health. Gender remains one of the
most consistent predictors of life expectancy, and worldwide, men die an
average of six years earlier than women.
The Movember Foundation currently focuses on four points of men’s
health: mental health, physical inactivity, testicular cancer and prostate
cancer. Prostate cancer is currently the
second most common cancer in men worldwide and the number of cases is expected
to almost double to 1.7 million cases by 2030.
While we can’t prevent these cases from developing, we at
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology perform the most precise imaging for our patients. A prostate MRI provides the clearest, most
detailed images of the soft-tissue structures of the prostate, and is used as a
screening and diagnostic tool for prostate cancer patients. This test is
non-invasive and does not expose patients to any radiation.
