Let your humankindness grow.

We’re issuing a challenge – Let your humankindness grow – to raise awareness for men’s health, and the importance of early detection and screening for colon, prostate and testicular cancer. The premise is simple: don’t shave between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. 

Follow along at @dignityhealthaz or join us by sharing your progress on social media using #growhumankindess.

  • Colon Cancer

    The risk of colon cancer increases with age and family medical history of the disease. That’s why we recommend screening for everyone ages 45 and over.

  • Prostate & Testicular Cancer

    Prostate cancer screenings are recommended for men ages 55 years and older, and those at high risk, particularly African-American men. Talk to your provider about the risks and benefits.

  • Lung Cancer

    A low-dose CT screening for lung cancer may be recommended for men and women, ages 50 to 77, who are current or former smokers with a smoking history of 20 pack-years. A referral from a provider is needed for a low-dose lung CT screening.

  • Skin Cancer

    Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer, and it’s especially common here in sunny Arizona. And residents who are older, have fair skin, blue eyes, or a history of cancer are even more at risk. Ask your provider for more information about skin cancer screenings.
