Blue Clover Campaign for Prostate Cancer Prevention at Matsuzakaya Nagoya

The "Blue Clover Campaign for Prostate Cancer Prevention" will be held at Matsuzakaya Nagoya store, located in Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya City. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and screening for prostate cancer.

The Current Situation of Prostate Cancer and the Importance of Screening

Prostate cancer is common among middle-aged and elderly men over 50, with over 90,000 new diagnoses annually across Japan. In recent years, it has become the most frequently diagnosed cancer among men, surpassing lung and colorectal cancer according to Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare data. Early detection through regular screening and appropriate treatment are crucial for increasing the chances of a cure.

What is the PSA Test?

The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a blood test used for early detection of prostate cancer. It can be performed with a small blood sample, often during a general health check-up. The results are indicated by a numerical value (0.0-10.0 ng/mL) or a classification (A, B, etc.), and the recommended follow-up interval or the need for further examination is determined based on the PSA level. If the PSA level exceeds 4.0 ng/mL, further examination (biopsy) is recommended.

Campaign Details and Donation Activities

Alongside raising awareness for prostate cancer screening (PSA test), the "Blue Clover Campaign" also includes donation activities. A portion of the donations collected during the campaign period, as well as proceeds from the sale of pin badges (priced at 200 yen including tax), will be donated to the "Executive Committee for the Promotion of Prostate Cancer Awareness," a non-profit organization, to support prostate cancer screening awareness initiatives.
