1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with this cancer in their lifetime

For Gary

We were shocked to hear, at our Australian Conference in November 2018, of an ITAM Review reader being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.

So, I would like to dedicate this year’s charity efforts to Gary, an ITAM Review community supporter and active member of the ITAM ecosystem in Australia.

1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime and it particularly impacts men over 50. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer. So, given our average reader is a forty something American male, we thought we’d do our bit to raise awareness to help men catch it early.
