Prostate cancer
is topic at men's
health dinner
Inspired by Prostate Cancer
Awareness Week (Sept. 19 - 25), the
Canadian Cancer Society Huron
Perth volunteer council is hosting a
men's health dinner in Huron
County this year.
"Men's Issues in Health and
Laparoscopic Prostatectomy" by
urologist, Dr. Bernard Bukala is
Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 6 to 8:30
p.m. at the White Carnation
Banquet Hall in Hoimesville.
Tickets are $15 and include a
roast beef dinner. They are avail-
able until Oct. 5 in various loca-
tions throughout Huron County, or
by calling the Society office at 1 800
294-0086.
"Quite rightly our volunteers felt
it was time to organize an event
specifically for and about men's
health", explains Janis
Cunningham, Canadian Cancer
Society's Huron Perth Unit manag-
er. "As an organization we agree.
We want to help bring awareness
and openness, and to help men take
control of their health."
Dr Bukula will talk about
prostate cancer and its treatment
including surgery • called
Laparoscopic Prostatectomy or
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive
way for the effective treatment for
prostate cancer.
"Cancer is such a prevalent dis-
ease that affects both my patients
and their families", says Dr Bukula.
"I'm encouraged that new treat-
ment options are providing for bet-
ter cure rates and less morbidity
and I embrace this opportunity to
inform the public about this com-
mon disease."
Prostate Cancer Awareness Week
aims to raise awareness about
prostate cancer and ways men can
reduce their risk of developing the
disease.
Prostate cancer is the most com-
mon cancer among Canadian men
and the second most common cause
of cancer death in men, after lung
cancer.
For the Canadian Cancer Society,
Prostate Cancer Awareness Week is
also an opportunity to explore
men's health in general.

society's services or cancer, call 1
