New Campaign Launches on Father's Day to Encourage Men & Their Families to Take an Active Role in Protecting their Prostate Health

NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The son of a professional player and coach, soccer runs in Marcelo Balboa's family, but like many others, so does prostate cancer. In 1988, Balboa's grandfather was diagnosed with the disease. That's why Balboa is joining with the Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC) and oncology leader sanofi-aventis to kick off TEAM UP AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER, this Father's Day Weekend. TEAM UP AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER urges men to take charge of their prostate health.

"I felt it was important to join Prostate Conditions Education Council and sanofi-aventis on TEAM UP AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER because I want to encourage men over 50 or who, like me, have a family history of prostate cancer, to talk to their doctor about their prostate health and screening options."
