From Matthew Schmitz, M.D., About.com GuideSeptember 2, 2009

Follow me on:

Tennis great John McEnroe has been hitting the talk show circuit to raise awareness about prostate cancer and prostate cancer screening. He's also the centerpiece of a 90-foot tall banner unveiled outside Madison Square Garden in New York City that promotes prostate cancer screening.

McEnroe's father was diagnosed and successfully treated for prostate cancer three years ago and, since that time, McEnroe has been a strong proponent of screening and early detection.

His efforts have increased this month as September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
