September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month. So here's a startling statistic: one in eight men will get prostate cancer while one in nine women will get breast cancer. In Canada, breast cancer research gets 10 times more money than prostate cancer. Why is that?

From the Canadian Cancer Society, here is a list of signs and symptoms of prostate cancer that you should not ignore. From Prostate Cancer Canada, here is a Risk Assessment Quiz.
