Dads often get labeled as poor listeners at home.
Dads will listen to their daughters.
Daughters, it is time to Step-up
and Tell Your DadSM
3 important things for his health.

Tell Your DadSM About his risk for
Prostate Cancer1
• Prostate cancer is the #1 non-skin cancer among men.
• In 2015, the estimates for prostate cancer in the United States are:
■■
About 220,800 new cases of prostate cancer
■■
About 27,540 deaths from prostate cancer
• About 1 man in 7 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during
his lifetime.
• African-American men are more than twice as likely to die of
prostate cancer as white men.
• Tell your dad to talk with his physician about his risk for prostate
cancer and determine if screening for prostate cancer is
appropriate for him.2

Tell Your DadSM To ask his physician

• Shared decision making

between your dad and his clinician is an
important part of his overall healthcare.
• If your dad has an elevated PSA (>2.5 ng/ml) and is considering a
prostate biopsy, Apifiny may help him and his clinician decide if a
biopsy is the most appropriate next step in his care.
• Make sure your dad is prepared to have a productive discussion
with his physician about his risk for prostate cancer.
