Beyond the Stigma: Prostate Cancer Awareness and the Fight for Men’s Health
In this special Health in Harlem episode for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Maurice Selby sits down with Dr. Irini Yacoub, Radiation Oncologist at the New York Proton Center, to break down one of the most common cancers affecting men today—prostate cancer.
Together, they explore how early detection and education can save lives, and how modern treatments such as proton therapy are changing the landscape of prostate cancer care. Dr. Yacoub explains how this precise form of radiation therapy can target cancer cells while minimizing side effects and preserving quality of life.
The conversation also dives into health disparities, misinformation, and the stigma that often prevent men—especially Black and minority men—from getting screened and treated early. Tune in for a candid, evidence-based discussion that empowers men, families, and communities to take charge of their health.
