Prostate Cancer Survivors to Be Honored at Community Awareness Event
Join CB Oncology for a powerful gathering that celebrates survival, raises awareness, and empowers our community.
Every September, we recognize Prostate Cancer Awareness Month—a time to shine a light on one of the most common cancers affecting men. At CB Oncology, we were proud to commemorate Prostate Cancer Awareness Month with our patients, survivors, and community members during a heartfelt event held last Friday. The gathering was more than a celebration — it was a reminder of the power of early detection, the strength of survivorship, and the importance of continued awareness.
While the event has passed, the message lives on: Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men during their lifetime, and staying informed, getting screened, and supporting those affected are crucial steps toward saving lives.
Why This Event Matters: Celebrating Life and Promoting Prevention
This event isn’t just about celebration—it’s also about education, connection, and empowerment. While prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the U.S., early detection and consistent screenings can save lives.
By bringing together survivors, families, and healthcare professionals, we aim to:
Honor local survivors and their inspiring journeys
Raise awareness about screening guidelines and early warning signs
Educate attendees on prevention, lifestyle strategies, and treatment innovations
Encourage men of all backgrounds to take control of their health
The Power of Early Detection
Prostate cancer is often slow-growing, and with the right screening and monitoring, it can be detected early—when treatment is most effective.
Here’s what every man should know:
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing is the most common early screening tool
Men should begin discussing PSA testing with their doctors at:
Age 50 for average-risk individuals
Age 45 for higher-risk men (including African American men and those with family history)
Early-stage prostate cancer has a nearly 100% 5-year survival rate
Know the Symptoms
While early prostate cancer may show no signs, more advanced stages can present:
Trouble urinating
Decreased force in the stream of urine
Blood in the urine or semen
Erectile dysfunction
Pain in the hips, back, or chest
Breakthroughs in Care: From Radiation to Radioligand Therapy
As a leader in precision oncology, CB Oncology is proud to offer cutting-edge treatments, including targeted radiation therapy, active surveillance options, and access to clinical trials such as the FPI-2265 radioligand protocol for advanced cases.
Our team is committed to treating every patient with compassion, innovation, and a personalized approach. Survivorship starts with early diagnosis, but it’s sustained through ongoing support and access to advanced care.
A Community That Cares
Whether you're a survivor, a loved one, or simply someone who wants to learn more, this event offers a meaningful way to:
Ask questions to our oncology team
Hear from survivors and guest speakers
Pick up educational materials on men's health
Celebrate life and hope with others who understand the journey
Community is part of the cure. Together, we can continue to spread awareness, erase stigma, and save lives—one conversation, one screening, one celebration at a time.

Final Thoughts
Prostate cancer is beatable—but only if we stay informed, get screened, and support one another. Let’s make awareness a priority. Let’s celebrate those who’ve triumphed. And let’s protect the health of the men in our lives—together.
