Doctor in the House: Everything You’ve Been Afraid To Ask About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the third most common cancer among men in Malaysia, but it’s still uncommon for men to talk about their prostate problems. When such an important health issue is shrouded in secrecy, men suffer - they get diagnosed late, do not have meaningful conversations about treatment, and have fewer options to improve their outcomes. We pair up an oncologist and a prostate cancer survivor to share just what men need to know about prostate cancer. This show is part of Health in a Pod, a health education campaign brought to you by Johnson & Johnson Malaysia.
