Today, we focus on prostate cancer, which is affecting many men across minority communities. In fact, prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States, behind lung cancer and colorectal cancer. And within the African American community, prostate cancer awareness is exceedingly important. For with Black men, 1 in 6 will develop prostate cancer and are more than twice as likely to die from the disease.

And, every year, thousands of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. And, though we know that early detection is key to successful treatment, unfortunately, many men don't have the information they need.

Soulivity had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Ash Tewari, who is the chairman of the Milton and Carroll Petrie Department of Urology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. As Director of the Department of Urology, he leads a multidisciplinary team committed to improving prostate cancer treatment, research, and education.
