October Episode of “The Prostate Health Show” on SiriusXM: Prostate Cancer and Family Risk

Got questions about prostate health and prostate cancer? The Prostate Cancer Foundation, Sirius XM’s Doctor Radio channel, and NYU Langone Health are partnering on a monthly prostate health radio series.

Our host is PCF-funded researcher and urologist Stacy Loeb, MD, MSc, PhD (Hon.) longtime host of the popular “Men’s Health” show on Doctor Radio.

The next episode of “The Prostate Health Show” airs Wednesday, October 25, 6:00-6:30 PM Eastern Time, covering the genetic connections between prostate cancer and other cancers. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s crucial that patients and families be aware of how a diagnosis of breast, prostate, or other cancer may affect other family members’ risks.

Dr. Loeb’s guest is Kara Maxwell, MD, PhD. Dr. Maxwell is a medical oncologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology-Oncology) at the University of Pennsylvania. They’ll talk about what genes are, how they impact prostate cancer risk, factors that might signal increased risk of cancer, and how to get accurate information and guidance from your healthcare provider to keep your family safe from cancer.

Dr. Loeb and her guests take your questions live on the air. This collaboration brings you the latest news and science of prostate health, from the very basic (where the prostate is) to the complex (the latest research on treatments for advanced prostate cancer). Listen from the comfort of your home (or car) and get your questions answered.
