#FamilyInterview| JHB Studio~ The spotlight is on men’s health 
Are discussions around cancer a taboo among men?

One could ask why South Africa has such a high number of black men diagnosed with prostate cancer, and why so many white males are diagnosed with testicular cancer, with most getting diagnosed late. Is it because of fear, shame or have we not taken such issues seriously enough? In some communities talking about private parts is a taboo! But at what cost? All it takes is Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test for men over 40 to test for prostate cancer. And men as young as 15 can do regular self examinations to check for abnormalities in their testicles. 
According to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), black men have the highest chance of contracting prostate cancer, with a frighteningly high-risk rate of up to one in four (25 percent), while white men have a lower, but still scary risk rate, of 10 percent. 
There’s a 98% survival rate with early detection, but only a 30% chance once it has spread to other parts of the body. Yet South Africa has one of the world’s highest rates for prostate cancer spreading to other parts of the body because men don’t get screened.
