The Prostate Cancer Foundation of NZ (PCF) is a non government funded organisation funded from public donations.

Encourage your loved ones to get tested for prostate cancer today.

 

  • If you are over 40 years old get tested for prostate cancer – the check can be as simple as a blood test
  • If you are over 50 or have a family history of prostate cancer repeat the test annually
  • If prostate cancer is detected early it can be treated
  • If not detected early enough then it can be fatal

 

Prostate Cancer is the most commonly registered cancer in New Zealand

670 men die of prostate cancer each year

More men die of Prostate Cancer each year than women of breast cancer

Prostate cancer is not an old man’s ailment. Men in their 40s can have prostate cancer

In a high proportion of cases there are no symptoms in the early stages of the disease

Prostate cancer mortality figures for Maori and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand are the highest for all ethnicities

Currently Maori men are two times more likely to die of prostate cancer than non Maori

Maori men tend to present late when the prostate cancer is more advanced and harder to treat

There are only two known causes of prostate cancer

Age (Prostate cancer is more common the older you get)

Hereditary (You have a higher risk if your father, uncle or brother suffered from prostate cancer)
