>>VIC MICOLUCCI: EVERY YEAR SO MANY MEN NATIONWIDE PARTICIPATE IN NO SHAVE NOVEMBER, BUT
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF THE
EVENT IS MORE THAN JUST AN EXCUSE TO GROW OUT THAT FACIAL HAIR, NO SHAVE NOVEMBER
LOOKS TO HIGHLIGHT AND RAISE
AWARENESS TO MAIL SPECIFIC
CANCERS. SO IT’S VERY
IMPORTANT. JOINING US THIS

OFF I MEAN WE TRIM IT BUT NO
SHAVE NOVEMBER IS MORE
THAN JUST SAVING SOME TIME IN
THE MORNING WAS SHAVING IT’S
ABOUT
RAISING AWARENESS.
>> CORRECT WE’RE RAISING
AWARENESS FOR NOT ONLY MEN BUT
WOMEN WHO ARE UNDERGOING
DIFFICULT
CANCER TREATMENTS AND THE WAY
WE CAN RAISE AWARENESS IS BY
TAKING THE MONEY THAT WE USE
TYPICALLY CUT HER HAIR
GROOMING SERVICES AND USING
THAT MONEY TOWARD
DONATING TO CANCER CHARITIES
AND OTHER COMPANIES WHICH ARE
HELPING PATIENTS FIGHT
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: SO VERY
IMPORTANT WHAT ARE SOME
OF THE COMMON MALE SPECIFIC
CANCERS THAT WE NEED TO RAISE
AWARENESS ABOUT.

WHICH AFFECT WHICH AFFECTS
MALES HAS PROSTATE CANCER AND I
THINK IT’S IT’S CRUCIALLY
IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT.

AIMED AT. GENERATING RESEARCH
FUNDING FOR PROSTATE CANCER.
WE ENCOURAGE MEN TO MEET WITH
THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS
AS WELL AS MET OVER MEDICAL
ONCOLOGIST SUCH
AS MYSELF. TO REALLY THE
BENEFITS OF SCREENING AND WHICH
INDIVIDUALS WOULD BENEFIT FROM
CANCER SCREENINGS. >> AND DOCTOR WHO’S MOST AT RISK FOR THESE CANCERS WITH
SOME TYPES
OF MEN.
>> MEN WHO HAVE A FAMILY
HISTORY OF PROSTATE CANCER,
SPECIFICALLY THOSE MEN WHO HAVE
FIRST DEGREE RELATIVES WHO HAVE
BEEN AFFECTED BY
PROSTATE CANCER. ALSO AFRICAN
AMERICAN TEND TO HAVE A HIGHER
INCIDENCE OF
PROSTATE CANCER. WE NEED TO
ENCOURAGE THOSE MEN TO MEET
WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS AND
SCREENING METHODS AND REALLY
GET THE CARE THEY NEED IN THIS
CLINIC.
AND.
CLINIC. AND. >>VIC MICOLUCCI: AS WITH ALL
CANCERS. IT’S ABOUT
THAT EARLY INTERVENTION
DIAGNOSING IT VERY QUICKLY
E N ONCATCH CANCER
EARLY IN STAGE ONE STAGE TO DISEASE. WE CAN OFTENTIMES CURE PATIENTS OF CANCERS SUCH
AS PROSTATE CANCER
MEETING WITH PHYSICIANS LIKE
MYSELF TO RISKS AND HELP THEM
THROUGH THEIR TREATMENTS IS
CRUCIAL.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: NOW GIVE ME

TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE THERE NEW
TECHNOLOGIES OR TREATMENTS THAT
CAN REALLY MAKE THIS PROCESS A LITTLE EASIER AND LESS PAINFUL.
>> THERE DEFINITELY ARE NEW TREATMENT OUT OPTIONS OUT THERE WHAT WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO DO
WITH PATIENCE IS BRING THEM
INTO CLINIC AND REALLY HAVE A
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO
THEIR TREATMENT. A MEDICAL
ONCOLOGIST LIKE MYSELF CONSULT
WITH SURGEONS AND RADIATION
ONCOLOGISTS TO DEVELOP
TREATMENT PLANS USING NICK THE
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY TO REALLY
COMBAT THEIR CANCERS AND GIVE

THE TV BUSINESS THROUGH COLLEGE
